RayOVac is my main brand these days. I find the quality to be
as high as any other battery, and the price is attractive.

I remember them way back when, too, with a cat and a lightning
bolt on the package.

That was Eveready.

Dang, you're right. Last time I saw them was more years ago than I care
to recount.

I use Costco AA cells. They're made by Toshiba, and cost less than 25 cents.

Kirkland. I used to use them a lot. Then Costco quit stocking them in the
stores near me. That's when I found the RayOVac stuff and started using it.
Costco has since started carrying the Kirkland AAs again, but they're 40
for $9.99, and I get half the life out of them that I get out of the
RayOVacs. Back when the alternative was the more expensive Evereadys, it
was a bargain to go Costco and just change batteries twice as often, but
since the equivalent of 60 Kirklands costs the same as (or less than, when
on sale) the 40 Kirklands, I make out better with the RayOVacs.

Most times, 30 RayOVac AA cost $9.99 at Menard's. They occasionally go on
sale or have a rebate, making them even cheaper.
