16pk Duracell AA or AAA single-use batteries for 1c + Tax after Rewards [updated]

UPDATE: the affiliate links to Office Depot are not working for some reason. Except for Amazon, eBay, B&H and Adorama, the rest of the retailers are mostly clueless when it comes to affiliate programs 🙂 I replaced them with direct links.

If you are part of the Office Depot and Office Max Rewards program, among the Reward Offers for the week of Sunday July 24 until Saturday night fever July 30 in 2016, you can get up to two 16pks of Duracell single-use AA or AAA alkaline batteries for $0.01 after Rewards. Only these 16-packs are eligible. You can get two AA or two AAA or one of each. Maximum two 16pks total regardless of AA or AAA.

You pay $13.99 plus tax (if applicable) for one 16-pack. A few weeks later you will receive the equivalent of $13.98 in Office Depot rewards. Sales tax is not refunded. This offer is good online and also in-store. Make sure you show the reward card if buying in-store or you have the correct Rewards number linked to your online shopping account if buying online.

While there, they have a very nice deal on their website for this hybrid Solo Backpack/Briefcase for laptops. It has two sets of built-in straps, one to wear as a backpack and one to carry as a briefcase. The sale price is $25.

You can buy up to five sets per customer. Free shipping with an order of $34.99 or higher of items shipped from Groupon facilities.

Rayovac Alkaline Batteries have their own $5 AmazonDash button ($5 credit after first use)

Until I see this in person, I still think it’s an April Fool’s joke that everybody else is in on 🙂 But it’s actually for real. For Prime members, a few months ago Amazon launched a Dash Button Service where you press a button, and Amazon automatically orders and delivers the designated item for you. So far it’s mostly household items but more brands are coming on-board (eg printer inks).

At the moment, there is one Dash button of photography interest, the Rayovac Battery Button (single-use alkaline AA, AAA, C, D). You pay $5 for it, and after you place your first order with it (by pressing it), Amazon will add a $5 store credit to your account. For each button, there is a box that you can click on the Amazon product page for that particular button to see all eligible items (annotated screenshot crop below):

The Weekly Ad for the Office Depot (including Office Max) stores for the week of Sunday 3/6/16 until the end of day on Saturday 3/12/16 includes a “Buy 2 Get 1 FREE” promotion on all Duracell batteries available in-store.

duracell_odp_b2G1

I don’t know if the sale will also be live on their website, but if it is, the promotion should appear at some point on Sunday on Duracell Product listings.

As usual, price check any items of interest, as the B2G1 price may still not “defeat” sale prices at other retailers or other times. This is a straight up sale, no coupons, no rebates, no rewards. You just pay the sale price and you are done!

The promotion is limit two per customer during this week. You decide whether it’s AA or AAA. As far as I know, you can’t roll rewards anymore, so you have to pay for these with credit/debit/cash, not existing Rewards.

2-pack of generic batteries for Canon LP-E6 for $14 w/free S&H (from USA)

To the thrifty side of the eBay Deals we rush like a lumbering fullback where eBay seller “eshop-best” (99.4%) is offering new condition 2-pack of generic batteries replacing Canon LP-E6 for $14 total with free shipping. You get two batteries for $14. They ship from Illinois. Limit 50 per customer. The eBay listing says these come with a 3-year warranty and they ship fast (“24H dispatch”). Over 700 units got sold so far from this listing per the stats over there. There are multiple pictures of the batteries in the eBay listing. As usual with 3rd-party batteries, this depends on your risk and comfort level, warranty situation of your camera, and things of that nature. We blog, you decide and deride 🙂

Sanyo Eneloop 2-slot charger with two AA Eneloops for $10 w/free shipping

Do you go loopy over Eneloops? (sorry, that’s the best I could come up with in 20 seconds). Adorama is offering the Sanyo Eneloop 2-slot Travel Charger with two AA Eneloop rechargeable batteries (pre-charged, 1900-2000mah) for $10 with free shipping. As you can tell from the Sanyo brand name, this is an older model, but has a very sold 4.8 out of 5 based on 120 customer reviews at Adorama. It charges two AAs in about 4 hours. More details in the description and the reviews.

This could be a nice introductory gift to rechargeable batteries for people who use single-use batteries – as long as you explain to them that you can’t recharge single-use batteries with them. Perhaps point them to the exploding battery YouTube videos to make sure they “get it” – because a few will probably be tempted to “try it just in case it works”. You know how people are 🙂
