    oh da heck, that is awful when a shopping trip ends that way... and two batteries should be cheaper than only one.. just saying ....it's weird but my kind of math ;o)

    Sometimes you have to spend a little money to keep things going - in you or the truck!

    Hello,

    Sorry, a dead battery can happen at the worst time. It seems expensive but it is a small expense of keeping a car running. I am thankful we have AAA, for those dead batteries and flat tires. Take care, have a wonderful day!

    I hate when I have to spend money on things like that. Clever post you got out of it though.

    I think I'd better check my battery now that you brought that up. Your cost isn't bad at all tho (for two!)

    Good grief on the price of batteries - on the other hand how many takeaway coffees would that buy? (Just so we can compare - if we price everything in takeaway coffees then we might understand how the coffee price of batteries where you are compares with here and say Greece (where we had to buy a van battery). So is it fair to guess that you didn't get to go shopping? Does that mean eat fresh air? We hope not! xxx Mr T and F

    I love your emoji style post but must say ouch to the battery cost. I no longer own my Sportage. I gifted to daughter who has brought family back to Markham after living 11 years in UK. We are happy she is back. Grand girls will be 7 and 5 soon and it is nice they are around more in person than video chat.

    This is better than the Archie and Veronica comic books I so used to love! Thank goodness you had an in-house mechanic who knows what he's doing and could install them himself.
    I can't tell you how many times we had to replace our car batteries while in Arizona. At least we don't own any electrical vehicles, right? The cost to replace one of those batteries, I'd have to rob a bank.
