You can order direct from Odyssey, with free shipping to your door. I do not think you will find one much cheaper. I could be wrong though.

I've been running a Northstar in my 4th gen for a few years now and it's been great. I recently had to replace the battery in my 5th gen and replaced the OEM battery with another Northstar. I have friends that have been running Northstar batteries long than I have and they have nothing but praise for them.

Batteries Plus has a rebadged Northstar called X2 Power but with a year longer warranty (5yr) & check it online first as that generates another discount. You can’t go wrong with Odyssey, Northstar/X2 Power. I was a fan of Optima 15 years ago but my last 2 yellow tops chronicled their demise. If you just want a cheap wet battery go with Interstate at Costco. Less than $100 & 42mo warranty. With the AGMs don’t forget the options of SAE or Marine terminals (the latter tends to reduce the warranty a year).

It's what I've been running in my 3rd gen, They are not cheap, but it's a full replacement for 5 years.
and it's been flawless.

I have had no problems with the costco batteries . these are wet but the shelve sitting is very short at the store DOM is current , so battery does not create sulfates .. when I go to costco the battery I use only 1 or 2 on shelve.. these sell quickly low price and long life..
Odyssey batteries are the best , but I do not off road so not needed ..
I get 7 yrs on the costco batteries .

Costco's Kirkland brand was supposedly very good, at least that was what I heard across the web. I never bought one.
About 3 or 4 years ago they switched to a different looking battery - green/white exterior.
I lost track of how many of these I've retuned. Their Group 24F batteries let me down one too many times.
For me, the best thing going is Walmart's Maxx Start - 3 yr. free replacement. All have held up well.
Batteries are the luck of the draw.

I do the same WalMart batteries for my wife's 4Runner that has frequent 1.5 mile commutes. Her home>work commute is 1.5 miles and she goes home for lunch so 4x a day 5x a week and the battery hardly ever gets a good charge. They have a 3 year replacement, 5 year pro rated warranty on the batteries, and we've used it about 3 times now. 2 free replacements, and a prorated 3rd one that reset the replacement warranty when bought so another 3 years of free batteries if it goes out. Comes out to something like $50-60 every 3-4 years for a new prorated priced battery.
If you don't mind the hassle to change batteries and a good indicator when it's going out, hard to beat the WalMart warranties.
