Cheapest place for generic car battery?

Battery on my Stanza (beater) decided to take a crap today... its completely drained was not able to jump start the car off my friends truck, currently borrowing a spare battery from my friend for a day or two.

Just looking for the cheapest place possible I can pick up a generic battery don't care what brand it is.

I was thinking walmart or pep boys for starters, but lemme know if there's any other alternatives thanx.
