Rechargeable is the way to go. I recommend you spend the extra and use the low self discharge ones, especially for intermittent use. Regular ones go flat on their own very quickly. These will stay 70%+ charged after a year.
Eneloop from Sanyo were the originals but there are plenty of others now variously known as 'always ready', 'pre charged'. 'ready to use' etc.
Don't get burned - you should be able to get a pack of 4 AA's for about a fiver. I use Eneloop, Uniross and Enitime and I've not had a problem with any of them.
If you can spring for it, a good quality charger with variable charge rate and conditioning cycles is imo worth it. I use a Maha powerex. The eight way one they do may be the way to go if you need to charge several sets a day.

If you get the decent mA hr ones, they're not too bad. Depends (obviously) on what they're powering. 4 in a Wii fit board last weeks (even if it is actually used!)
Sad and anal, but I also label them up sometimes, so you don't mistakenly put uncharged ones back in.

I did have a lot of C cells but the wife kept pinching them ?
It's the PP9s that can get expensive.
Roberts radio before you get smutty.
