Batteries

Do you have a ton of battery powered items?? Do you wonder why you have to spend so much on batteries?? As a mom, I DO!! So as a way to save us $$ and to be more environmentally friendly, we replaced many of our batteries with rechargeable. Yes, they do cost more in the beginning, but they last a LOT longer. For controllers and cameras considering using rechargeable. For kids toys that you don't want to last forever (hehe, yes I am a mom who understands LOL.) consider buying them from a liquidation store. Save-a-lot or Big lots for example. They are cheaper and they are selling the ones, the big stores can't sell. They would otherwise end up in a landfill anyways.

Concider finding ways to recycle them when your done. Many places have a box to collect them in. Schools and large office buildings can get these as well.

For more great information on "disposable-vs-rechargeable" you can find it here.
