That is the reason CVS can afford to buy Aetna Insurance. Another good deal for the public.

So, what are you going to do with 20-2032 batteries?
I mean 18 as you used 2.

Hell he saved almost $2.00 and still has 18 batteries they should last for a good while if properly stored.

Similar savings, on the small hearing aid size button batteries can be had from Harbor Freight, get about 24 assorted for the price of one battery, makes you think about where the costs of the products we buy are, packaging and handling must take most of the money on small products, and maybe allowance for shrink.

I bought a package of those button batteries for my uncle's blood glucose test monitor. If stored in a drawer in a cool place, they will last a long time.

If he uses only two of batteries they would cost $6.54 for them but two batteries at CVS would be $16.92. And that's not figuring in sales tax. He could throw the 18 away and be money ahead.

He would save more than $2.00 since he needed two of those $8.46 CVS batteries.

I started buying coin batteries on the Internet several years ago when the local store wanted over $5.00 for one battery and I was able to get a card of 10 batteries including shipping for less than $4.00. Since then I have always bought multiple quantities via on-line sources.For cameras they seem to last a long time, those used in continuous draw devices like clocks seem to last less long but you have a supply on hand anyway. For less than 1/10th the unit price there's no decision to make.
