I love the internet - shopping

So I popped home to start a pork roast (for future lunches) and have lunch. I also scrounged up two pedometers. One had a dead battery. The other I promptly broke the belt hook. Quickly searched up the battery type in google. $3 for 10 + 1.69 shipping first class mail. Jumped over to RadioShack.com ... $4.69 a battery. Quickly made up my mind to order the 10 and then get the single from the Radio Shack on the way to work.

Steep price for the convenience. Tack on 20c for the driving detour as well. Not sure how most things are still sold retail anymore.
