I need a single CR2032 lithium battery (it's a wafer about the size of a nickle) to replace one that croaked in an otherwise good motherboard. They're easy to find online, but with shipping and minimum order charges it costs $10 to get a 75 cent battery. Any idea where to find them in a retail store? Are they available at Wal-Mart, Staples, Officemax, BestBuy, CompUSA or someplace similar?

I think that's the same kind of battery I got for Dreamcast VMUs once. You can probably find it at a drugstore or someplace like that.
