Check this and have not seen it post yet. This deal was taken from DN.
Sears Link
Sears offers the Sony AM/FM Clock Radio, model no. ICF-C218BLACK, for $5.99. Shipping costs $4.99 or choose free in-store pickup.
It features Automatic Time Set, Auomatic Daylight Savings Time Adjustment, calendar, battery back-up, and AM/FM analog tuner.
For just $6, and with all the features, I think it is really a good price. A trusted brand too.

I think the term Automatic Time Set is a misnomer. There's nothing "automatic" about it. The time has simply been preset at the factory. Don't be fooled into thinking you're getting a clock radio with GPS/NOAA WWB capability.

As for automatic DST switching, it's all well and good until Congress changes the switchover dates again. Last time I got a clock radio with automatic DST compensation (Timex from Costco), I had to dump it a year after I owned it -- no firmware upgrades for these things...

OOS in Ft. Myers, FL as well. Looks like decent little clock radio for price (Amazon reviews).

WalMart.com has it for $9.28 (currently, no site-to-store for it). Hopefully, it's the same price (or less) at my local WalMart.

They do, I got 2 of them there a couple months ago. I also saw them at Toysrus BM last week, not sure what their price was. They are in the electronic section at wallyworld though, not in the alarm clock section.

The bad thing is then that you end up having to manually change the time 4 times a year because it will switch to daylight savings time at the wrong times. Then you have to change it for the new time Congress decides. Of course that doesn't defeat it's DST compensation so in a couple weeks after you changed it for the new daylight savings time, it switches on it's own to what it thinks is daylights savings time, but since you already changed it previously it will be off by an hour. A regular clock radio only needs to be set twice a year.
