Panasonic (?) batteries, D-cells, sell for $1.00 a pair at the "dollar store"
next door to my local post office. These are about as low-priced as I've seen,
but $5 for 4 of them seems a bit high.

Subject: Batteries expensive in England?
I needed about 4 D-cells for my radio (didn't want to mess around with
adapters and such), so I looked around the various shops, supermarkets, etc.
All seemed to be high...4-D cells, which would cost about $5 or so in the US,
was UKP 8, or about $12 in London.
Did I miss anything here?
