How To Save Money On An Often Overlooked Item - Batteries

By Busy Door Guest Blogger | May 27, 2009

You cannot go a day without talking about how to save money and stretch your dollars. People are talking to each other about their finances more than ever.  Instead of sharing cooking tips and recipes people are now sharing tips for saving money and how to find the best deals on stuff they buy.  Saving money is in like never before.  I wanted to share one tip with you that you may not know about or may have just overlooked - saving money on batteries.I know what you are thinking, you cannot save money when you buy batteries.  Can you?  Yes, you can.  You can buy all kinds of batteries online and you can get them cheaper than at your local store.  You can buy them cheaper than your local Sam’s and Costco wholesale stores.  This article will share my tips with you for buying batteries for all your electronics cheap.

People are watching more TV and movies at home and using half a dozen remotes to power all their TV components.  That’s at least 6 to 8 batteries that you have to replace on a normal basis.All your remote controls are going to need a constant supply of AA and AAA batteries.  They will run you about $1 to $2 a piece.  You can buy Energizer AAA batteries online for 33 to 50 cents each.  You could buy 100 for $38 and that includes free shipping.  Or if you are a Duracell fan, you can buy cheap Duracell batteries for the same prices. 

Better yet, if you need cheap AA rechargeable batteries, you can find them online as well and get great deals.Rechargeable lithium and nimh batteries will keep your electronic devices running longer without having to recharge so often.  And if you put the normal Duracell and Energizer AA or AAA batteries in them you will find that you can barely take 10-20 pictures before the battery is drained.  Today’s digital cameras have to power the auto focus and larger LCD displays that people love to check out immediately after they have snapped a funny picture.  Do yourself a favor and buy some high quality rechargeable batteries and enjoy a longer battery life with less downtime changing out batteries.  Capture all the moments you want. 

When you shop online for an often overlooked item, you can save time and money.  Many people think of batteries as an afterthought and you just run out a pick up a new 4 pack at the store and don’t think twice about spending the $4 or $5 you just spent.  But that money adds up.  And when you are looking for ways to save money, saving $4 or $5 a week can really add up.Go load up on some new cheap replacement batteries before all your remote controls run out of juice.
