Saw a store the other day, that has lots of flashlights and other stuff. I liked 3 types... one holds 1 AAA, another holds 1 AA battery , the third type holds 3 AAA. The three types covered 3 levels of illumination. Exactly what I wanted. BUT, the shop was a wholesale store and the guy only sells them by the BOX (2 dozen each).

Now, I started doing the math. At wholesale price, some are offered at half and some at third of the price I paid a month ago per flashlight. Not bad, but 2 dozen of each is way too much for my needs.

If you were in my place , what would you do ??
