That's too bad. I just got back from Costco, where I found their store
brand Kirkland AA alkalines at $9.59 for 48. They also had Duracells, 16
for $8.19.

Yep. Used to go for the Kirkland units at just about that price; they
disappeared from our local Costco a few years back. I'm thinking their
Duracells are right around that price too, but (1) I don't buy Duracells
and (2) that's over 50 cents per battery when I can get 30 Ray-O-Vacs
for $9.99 any day of the week at Menard's. Sometimes even better at
Menard's; the last batch of AAs I bought were 12 for $2.59 with a $2
rebate on up to two packs, or just under a nickel per Ray-O-Vac.

Back when I got the Kirklands regularly, they were about half the cost
of the name brands I was finding and had a little better than half the
lifetime, not a bad deal at all.
