CRv3 batteries on sale at Walgreens: Pentax SLR Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review (2024)

Here in the US, Walgreens drugstore has 2 two-pack of Duracell CRv3 batteries on sale for $9.99. Their normal price is $17.99 for two. Thought some of you could stock up for your DL/K100 needs.

Hm. I just drove down to the Walgreen's in my neighborhood. All CR V3s were regular priced, so I asked the 2 employees if there was a sale and if they might have forgot to put the sale tag on there, but both said there is no sale on those batteries.....

Nevermind. When I hear Walgreen's, I do normally not think of on-line shopping.

BestBuy has the normal 2GB sandisk cards for $45. $50 instant savings. At least in my area. I'm going to have to shoot RAW just to fill the dang thing up.

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it—and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again—and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more. - Mark Twain

Thanks for the tip! I didn't want to buy 6 sets to get free shipping from their online store, so I called the nearest store and asked them if they had the sale and had them in stock. They said they did, so I went down and bought 3 sets.

The packages looked all bent up, though not opened; maybe careless shipping was the reason for this sale??

I bought a set of CRv3 two weeks ago. Also they had CR2 on sale for my Contax G2.

I just cleaned out my local walgreens 2pack duracell CRV3. they also have them in individual pack and you can buy 2 of them and they will price match the current sale at 2 batteries for the price of 1.

CRV3s give me the best performance, so i easily jumped at the chance to gobble this deal up!

happy shooting,

They had BOGO on their individual packs. I bought enough for 4 complete changeouts. I figured it would be a few years before I used those up as I use NiMH at home. I only use the CRV3's for travel.

Nice deal, though. Thanks for posting.

Even bad photography can be fun

I took a printout from the web site to my local walgreens and asked the manager if he would honor the price and he said yes. I grabbed four packs and whistled my way out the doors. I spend quite a bit at that store and the manager recognized me.

Here's the web page for the batteries
