[Coco] Random Radio Shack question

Ahhh... the battery a month club or something like that?

I had one card and my brother another, so we would get two free batteries
each month. How much were those general purpose (rather low grade) red
batteries worth?

Nice gimmick to draw in a customer who may then pick up something else, even
if he/she was "just steppin' in to get the free battery".

It is incredible how much the store marks up the batteries. Word to the
wise: buy your batteries elsewhere - about the only thing nice about getting
them at RS is if they're of the hard to find types.
