Batteries at Rite Aid .24 to .49?!

IF you can find them, Duracell 10 packs of AA batteries (UPC 4133304864) and AAA batteries (UPC 4133317064) are ringing up $2.24. Get a price check before you buy anything. They aren't marked and they aren't that price at all stores. Use the $1 coupon from the P&G insert this weekend, and if they have them, the $1 RA peelie on them to get them for .24

Also, there are 20 packs AA (UPC 4133375864) and AAA (UPC       
4133301548) ringing up $3.49, use the same coupons and get back a $1 UP, making them .49 Again, maybe you can find them, maybe you can't, but if you can, it's a fantastic deal!)

Editing to add that it seems finding the 10 packs on sale is more widespread than finding the 20 packs, so check both sizes.

What all do you usually get free?

Are there things you just don't pay for? Rarely pay for? Have a maximum amount to pay?

I was telling someone the other day about what I don't usually pay for. Of course, there are some exceptions...if I reallllly need to roll my UPS or RR's...if I REALLLLY like a certain poduct...if it is requested by someone in my household..but generally, I don't pay (or pay BARE minimum OOP for):

shampoo
deodorant
toothpaste
toothbrushes
body wash
soap
razors

I DO pay for it occasionally (but it's rare, and if I do, I pay very very little)  I also pay very little for make up, laundry detergent ($2 MAX!), toilet paper, pasta, condiments, hair color, styling aids, etc.

What do you stock up on free or almost free?
