Thumbs up Need a bargain, I found one

I was at tractor supply today and found 30 AAA batteries for $10. The best part is they're packaged in 3's inside their own LED flashlight. The sale runs through the 27th. At this price I can stash them everywhere.

Probably.....Yes.... Quit following me! I was just having an old man moment thinking the kids and wife probably have no clue where the last one I gave them is at. Everybody got a new one today for the glove box, wife got 2. (reference your comment as to why)

Rick, you can also buy a 6 volt battery (flashlight lantern type) for 5 or 6 bucks. I think there are 30 or 32 AA batteries inside. Just pry off the cover, and cut the wire inside. Brand new batteries just like the ones you buy, but without a label. I have a WMV file of it, but don't know how to upload a movie file. I would be happy to forward you the email I got with it though...

I've seen that and the CR 123 hack as well. Have you seen the 12V car battery hack?
