Pack of 5 batteries, less than $10 shipped. This place is really good for these small button-type batteries:

takes about 5 seconds to change. pull the key out of the fob and use the end of the key to pry the 2 halves of the fab apart. theres a little slot on the fob after you remove the key to pry it apart with the key.

Another option is eBay. 5 Energizer batteries shipped for $5.48. Generic brand is also available (priced lower).
