I got an Emergency Radio for only $10 at my local CVS drugstore. It runs off of a handcrank or batteries and picks up AM/FM and a common weatherband. Emergency Radio Review: Battery Free Crank Radio from Innovage Outdoor Overall, it's a pretty decent little radio and a great budget prep!
Sounds like a good deal Gatordude, I was looking at those at Radio Shack this week the cheapest ones there are $29.00. What brand did you get? CVS is right around the corner from me.
Sorry I missed this reply. The brand I got was called "Innovage Outdoors." However, since we are in a hurricane-prone area, most drug stores and department stores have something in this category.
