I just found this great deal at my local Walgreens and wanted to share.
Walgreens sells Energizer rechargeable batteries, size AAA, in packs of 4, normally $12.99. At my store (through 3/28/09), they are on sale for $7.99 per pack.
In this month’s EasySaver catalog, customers can get a rebate of $10 for buying two packs of Energizer batteries (or $15 for three packs). That rebate is increased by 10% (to $11 or $16.50) if you choose to have your rebate added directly to a gift card instead of sent by check. To claim a rebate via gift card, you can submit rebates online anytime during March. The balance can be added to your existing gift card automatically.
If I claim my rebate for these packages, I’ll ultimately get them for $3.13 a pack including tax. This is perfect as we are seeking to convert all our batteries to rechargeables.
I’m not sure if the sale is at all retail outlets — if you find out, let us know! But it’s sure worth checking. I don’t need any more AAA batteries, but I do need AAs, so I will be checking back before the sale ends just in case I can claim that 3-pack rebate.
As always with deals, YMMV.
Harbor Freight is where I buy Rechargeble batteries. Always a low price- they have AA and AAA, C and D
To make the deal sweeter walgreenss has $2 peelies that work on these batteries.
I cannot find an affordable source for rechargeables here. I am stuck buying them in photo supply stores. My cheapness means that I juggle them around between devices. It’s not quite can you stop using your mp3 player for a second, I need to change the channel?, but it’s close.
