Default Need Battery Help ASAP!

So heres the deal. My Optima took a crap today, Happy Easter. My "spare" battery now has 2 dead cells, so I need a new battery tommorow.

I wanted to get another Optima, until I saw the prices of them. I bought mine for $112 from Advance Auto 3 years ago, now its like $160-$180? wtf?

I really would not like to spend that money right now. So where do I go from here? I have no idea what is good or bad. I have advance auto, autozone, and a walmart local to me.

Matt
