Graham. explained on 02/12/2009 :
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.

but aren't they like the ones on my local market stall.

they have an expiry date of next year instead of 2016 that the full priced
ones have.
