whats everyone doing for car batteries these days??

Batteries have gotten insane lately, seem to have doubled in the last 6 months. Put a Delco in the wife's Grand Cherokee about a month ago- no complaints, but it was $175 plus core (on sale). I normally use a local old-school battery builder (Challenger Batteries), but they were closed at the time I needed it. A couple days later I saw the $56 specials at Wallyworld, and picked one up for a shop/run stand battery- we'll see how it holds up.
