cheapest place to buy a new battery

[THE VEIN]

I see a lot of old posts about sub $100 batteries but the lowest im seeing is $120-$125. im looking at both 49/h8 and 94r/h9.

autozone wants $150 Walmart wants $125 and BJ's wants $120

I paid like 170 at a local autoparts store.

I paid the 150 earlier from Autozone but the guy that worked there said to check costco for kirkland batteries that it should be around $75 for the same battery but when I check costco website it doesn't sell car batteries

I do know my local Costco sells car batteries in their tire department

costco is about a 30-minute drive for me so I'll probably give them a car tomorrow and see what's up. but im not seeing any batteries under 120

I bought Autocraft H8 AGM for 145 after core refund and coupons applied from Advance Auto Parts last month.

Do you have an Advance Auto Part in your area?
I bought an AutoCraft battery from them online with 30% off using "TRT30" coupon code. Then select pick up in-store when checking out. Come to the store of your choice about an hour later to pick it up.

The big club wholesalers don't sell a Group 49, Except for Sams Club.....which actually offers IMO a bettery battery than AZ, AAP, etc. Both in AGM and flooded variant.

- I prefer a EP battery over a JC, if given the the 2 options.
.
But for cheapest, locally available, I'd say Walmart or AZ
It's a big battery. $135 minimum seems acceptable IMO
Let's say a nice round # at $150 and it last you 5 Years.
That's $30 a year for a starter battery.....

advance in my area has 2 batteries 1 is 187.99 plus $20 core charge and the other is 203.99 plus 20 core charge so even with 30% off its still more expensive than autozone
