Some of the alkalines might not last as long as Energizers, but they cost twice as much. 0.99 for a 4 pack is pretty decent. Can't wait for a deal if you need 'em now. If I needed AA I would get these. I buy the Fry's Sanyo AA alkalines when they're 0.88/4 pack and they work fine. I use them in low drain devices like my Cordless optical mouse and transistor radio and they last just about as long as anything I can throw in there. Good find,
and keep posting the deals.
