Seems every time I turn around I am needing more batteries for something.
It is usually AA batteries.either for my camera,T.V. remote,door bell or
something. Sometimes I will need AAA batteries too, but it usually is the
AA ones that I use the most.I try to but the larger packages when they are
on sale, because they get quit wxpensive.Do you buy batteries alot too?

Nope, I rarely buy them.
I got a battery charger and now strictly use rechargeable batteries. It is a BIG savings for sure. I use my digital camera quite a bit and they really suck the batteries dry.
Since I can recharge the batteries now, I'm paying just a fraction of what I was for disposable batteries.

Same here. I have a Rayovac Hybrid battery charger. The batteries seem to last forever. I have bought more of these rechargable batteries for my son's gameboy. I also use them for my digital camera, taking video on the camera really eats away at regular batteries.
I think from now on I will use the rechargeables for everything I use batteries for, even the remotes. It really is much cheaper in the long run.

They're cheap.
You can usually buy the charger and several batteries with it for the price of one package of disposable batteries.

I don't have to buy batteries all the time because I have a battery charger so I only have to buy rechargable batteries. It saves me money in the long run. I only have to buy batteries every few months. Sure they are a bit more expensive at first but they end up paying for themselves.

Hi since you use so many batteries, have you ever consider buying them by them in large quantities; that would be less expensive.
I have only a camera that uses batteries, and they last me a long time because they are rechargable.
May you might want to consider a battery charger.

I do buy them in the large packs, but the grandkids will come over and need some for their games and things. I need to invest in a recharger.

No I dont buy batteries I can go weeks without needing new batteries since I only use them for remotes and my xbox controller. But back when I use to use my cd player a lot I use to have to buy a lot of batteries since I used my cd player a lot. But ever since I switched to my ipod I have saved a lot on batteries another good reason to get an ipod lol.
