Screwfix have AAs on offer - a box of 24 Varta ones for £7.95.

Why bother? 24 from Poundland for £4.

I'm extremely reluctant to buy any thing other than Kodak
these days because of their proven reliability, long life and
no leaking.

Leaking in low consumption devices where batteries last a very
long time is even more important these days and every time
I've tried any other brand over the years I've lived to regret
it.

I haven't looked for some time but I have come across the
Kodak alkaline in other smaller Pound shops but, in the days
when Pounfdland sold them at 6 for £1, the other shops only
gave you 4! Even so, that's only £6 for 24!

I'd also be wary of Screwfix special offers on batteries. They
had one on PP9s a few months ago - zinc carbon, of course, and
all on or near their expiry date. This was not stated in the
offer!
