Best price? AA Lithium batteries

->> Where is the best place to buy AA Lithium batteries? A friend advises that 12 for $20 is the going rate at Sams Club. Anyone else have guidance on this?

I'm planning to use these with the Nikon MB-D10.

->> Have you used lithium AAs in this unit before? I ask because I used them in an older Nikon unit one time and almost melted it. I'm not familiar with the MB-D10, so I can't offer advice about it specifically, but you might want to check your manual.

->> I have received at least one email stating that they are fine in this particular camera.

Here's a tip on buying them cheap.

Home Depot - St. Joseph MO 4 for $10.97.
Target - St. Joseph MO 4 for $9.84 w/ a $5 mail-in rebate.

Even without the rebate, they are at least $1 cheaper than Walmart.

Supposedly, Sam's Club sells them 12 for $20.

->> At Costco warehouses in the DC area you can get them a lot cheaper than that... 36 of them for about $ 16.00 (don't quote of the exact number and amount but something close to it). However I will go the rechargeable route more money at front but in the long run is about pennies on the dollar compare to disposable ones....

->> Costo's price is comparable to Sam's price of 12 energizer litiums for $20. Go some just a few days ago. Best price I've seen, anywhere.
