    Folks- anyone know the best Irish based store to by AA and AAA batteries from?.

    I would normally buy in decent quantity from 7day shop but looking to see if there is an Irish based alternative. Keeping it country/Green Jersey and all that sort of thing. I don't mind paying a little bit more for the same thing, but I do mind paying a lot more.

    Any ideas and suggestions welcome.

    choice, euro saver or whatever pound shops its called nowadays, you get 10-20 packs for like 3-4 e


    that in mind found quality to be complete rubbish on em, cant compare to phlilipps Duracell etc.


    if its for simple stuff as toys, remotes etc they will do the job, but for hardware that requires good long lasting batteries better to go with main brands.

    Cheap batteries are a total waste, both of money but in terms of manufacturing and distributing and recycling them.

    The really cheap ones (Kodak for example) can be had for approx 10c each but are useless.

    The batteries they have in Lidl are quite good. Can’t remember the name of them.

    I think the batteries in Lidl are called aerocell

    Never thought of trying the Lidl batteries, oddly, given I do nearly all the shopping there. Must check them out.
