There is a bicycle toy, "Motion Activated Reflector Light" on sale in
Poundland for a quid, contains two CR2032 coin cells. Cheap, if you are
looking for these cells in a hurry.

Picture on ebay (enter 190146068647 in ebay search)

BTW tapping the shop packaging does nothing, you have to remove a bit of
paper from the back to activate.

Argghh... I got the things coming out my ears!

One of my local shops was doing a closing down special with 6 strips of 5
cells (CR2032 or CR2016) for a quid!

I've got enough to last me until the next millennium :)

You got to be kidding me!

Surely that must be a windup.

Nope.
Of course when you can get button cells for a few pence each it doesn't make
sense to do this

Good spot. I'm tempted.
Except www.dealextreme.com do 5 for $2.23 (£1.20) but they'll take
