Upon further research, it seemed like there was a large batch of these batteries where it was close to the expiry date. So that was the catch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ecoalkalinewamart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7076\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/instantly-checking-other-store-prices-when-you-see-a-deal\/ecoalkalinewamart\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ecoalkalinewamart.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1104,436\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;windows&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1432952716&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ecoalkalinewamart\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ecoalkalinewamart-300x118.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ecoalkalinewamart-1024x404.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7076\" src=\"http:\/\/al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ecoalkalinewamart.jpg\" alt=\"ecoalkalinewamart\" width=\"1104\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ecoalkalinewamart.jpg 1104w, https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ecoalkalinewamart-155x61.jpg 155w, https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ecoalkalinewamart-300x118.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ecoalkalinewamart-1024x404.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ecoalkalinewamart-950x375.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1104px) 100vw, 1104px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s almost like it comes down to science in regards to determining why something is so cheap where it makes it a lot easier to shop for items that are truly a good deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was recently notified about this deal for 24 AA Alkaline batteries where the price of it was extremely cheap. $4.99 cheap to be exact and I thought that I have seen it at that price before.
