We have a chain called Big Lots around here. They sell Fuji Alkaline batteries for $1.49.
They last as long as the majors, as far as i can tell. I use lots of 9 v's in guitars. the price is for 1 9V, 2 AA or 3 AAA units. They sell all other sizes, but don't know the configurations. Been using them for years.
