What's the groups take on this particular brand? I've never purchased them
myself. I bought a pack of sixteen of them for $3.87 (including tax.)

I know this part has been mentioned before but if someone would be so kind,
what's the best way to store batteries (alkaline) or is there? I know not to
have them out in the extreme heat, but I've read some people put em' in the
fridge.

Is there any validity to this other than cold batteries? ;-)

Oh crap, do I have to admit this? I NEVER go to this place, but I was on the
hunt in the middle of the night looking for a replacement bulb to my 6 Dcell
mag-lite and my last stop of the four places I went to was "Wal-Mart."
(FWIW-they didn't have it.)

On the way out by the checkout line I saw a big display with those mentioned
batteries. For the good of the country, don't go to Wal-Mart. ;-)

On my last visit to a local Wal Mart I walked down to the central area,
where the electronics stuff is displayed. Half way there, a young
employee was coming the other way, pushing a cart with bags of
snack/junk food on it. A container of doughnuts fell off the cart.
Instead of picking it up, the kid started kicking it towards his
destination, which was a display stand at the coner of the isles.

I haven't been back since.
