Don`t know where you live but I get 3 for a pound at ( would you believe ) Poundland, in the UK.

I'm in th USA, but I figure PoundLand is like the Dollar store over here. I should take a look at the cheap discount store and check the prices. They are usually about $3 each! Which seems a little too much.

Green fuz, that is ridiculously cheap! How long do they last? Comparable to Duracell/Energizer? Or cheap'n'cheerful?

They`re Hyundai alkalines or Kodak Zinc chloride`s. I haven`t done any comparison tests so can`t say how they compare to other brands, longevity wise. I only know they are cheap.

I've heard about people buying online in bulk and saving handfuls of money. I usually buy my 9Vs in packs of two (I think, but maybe it's three or four), at local grocery stores like Publix. Check near the checkout isles where they have shelves full of candy bars to get irresponsible kids to waste their money.

Your local .99 Cent Store. A pack of two Panasonic 9v's for a buck.

I usually by a bulk pack from Costco.  They sell duracell brand and they may even have a kirkland brand 9v now too.  I think they run about $9 for 12 or $12 for 9.

Something like that anyway.
