That's what I did for a lot of years before switching to Li-ion. Just found those disposable alkaline from Costco to be so much more convenient than the welded rechargeable pack or the eneloop type (my least favorite...).
Once I got to running the li-ion I've never looked back though. Last longer, put out more juice, charge faster, than any of the alternatives. Not sure why anyone would run anything else, except for a situation without AC like yours. And then I'd do the same thing you are.
