I buy the cheapest Alkaline's I can find in bulk like the Kirkland. A big batch lasts a long time because I primarily use NiMH rechargables and save the Alkalines for backups. I just started using the Rayovac Hybrids to replace some of my older Energizers and so far they're the best and cheapest NiMH batteries I've used.
