I received a call from family members staying with relatives over in Greece. Apparently they are having a number of power outages and have few to no flashlights. I was asked to pack up a bunch of flashlights and batteries to send over with my father in-law. A two pack of D cell batteries cost around 8 Euros. Here's the catch I only had one day to buy the lights and send them over with my father in-law. I made the decision to stick to one or two common types of batteries. The closest store to me was Target. I picked up a few 12 packs of AA's and a few 9 volts. The flashlight selection was bleak and the only lights I picked up were a cheap Rayovac light for 3 bucks and a single AA Rock River (for myself
). Luckily on the way home I stopped to go food shopping and found these in ACME for around $5 each.

Here's what is going over: 2 of the Dorcy Spot Lamps, 2-3 Gerber Ultra Infinity (I had some in stock, one is the old CMG model), cheapie Rayovac light, AA maglight with LED conversion, 2-3 old PAL Lights (I have a shipment of the new Super Brights coming in) and maybe my Coleman 4XAA lantern. Plus lots and lots of batteries. I wanted to pick up a Rock River latern but there were none in stock.
I wish had more time to go shopping and order some lights but this was the best I could do with such a limited time frame.
