$1.20 each if you buy 50...
Members of Candle Power Forums get discounts at many flashlight dealers, I bought batteries for $1 each a few years ago at Battery Station using my CPF user name.

$60 for 50 batteries shipped. His are the same as the Ray-O-Vacs, surefires, Streamlights, etc.
$1.08 each if you wait for a coupon from LAPG.
I bought my last batch of batteries from LAPG. The 100pk is $119.99 but they have 10% coupons every holiday and the free shipping helps on the other little do-dads I always order.

Lowes hardware sells SF for $4.97 a 2pk. Not a good price, but if you need them in a hurry, it'll be cheaper than while doing your wallywalk. They have $10 off $50 coupons that you get with many items, would take a bit off the sting if you HAD to buy locally.
