Whilst agreeing with you, I have to say I am old enough to remember a time
when it was quite normal for a small retailer to split a pack.
Probably the same retailers that sold single Woodbines to school children.

So am I, but things have moved on a long way from those days. Money is
plentiful and things are much cheaper. What does a four pack of AA's cost?

In a shop, for branded long life batteries - 4 pounds (more or less).

Try a pound shop. 4x AA for £1.
