aa batteries from amazon basics, stacked in a menacingly large pile.

This is a bit different from what we normally cover, but I was going to order this for myself and thought it might be of interest to you, dear reader, as well. Anyway, you can get ten years' worth of AA batteries - 100 in total! - for just £13 at Amazon right now. This normally costs £18, so that’s a nice little savings - and of course it’s far cheaper per item than buying batteries in smaller packs.

I’m forever needing batteries for game controllers for work, and of course AA batteries have also found their way into my garden lights, remote controls, wall clocks and many other things. In general,rechargeable batteriesare a better bet - and probably more ecologically sound? - but sometimes you just need a cheap and cheerful battery to shove in a thing.

Note that while the product title for some reason says that these batteries have a ‘1-year shelf life’, they of course have a10-yearshelf life as confirmed elsewhere on the page, so you can use these up at your leisure - or share them with friends, workmates and family members if you prefer.

In any case, do let me know if you find this kind of a deals post - where I go a little beyond the bounds of the standard CPU-GPU-SSD trifecta - useful. Your feedback is invaluable. Thanks for joining me once again and I’ll see you next time!
