In my experience have also found large chains v expensive. Have you tried smaller independent jewellers? My local one charges less than half the price .

My pound shop sells a sheet with LOADS of different sized batteries for a pound...obviously, being a pound shop

try your local market? we've got a bloke that replaces them very cheaply!

A lot of towns have those shops/kiosks that do key-cutting, engraving and watch batteries. Only thing is, like someone else said, it might affect your guarantee.

Pound shops even do a pack of about 20 different sized ones.
