Energizer Family Charger
$26.85 plus free shipping at Amazon
We are all for rechargeable batteries! In fact, as an official online advocate for Energizer, I can tell you without a doubt that it HAS saved my family money to switch to rechargeables. What's the best way to keep up with all your charging needs? A charger that works on every common battery size is perhaps the #1 way we continue to do it all.
This very cool and roomy charger handles AAA, AA, C, D, and 9V rechargeable batteries, and it lets you see the progress of your charging with the handy LCD display. We really liked how we could cut down on the clutter in our battery/candle/flashlight/whatever drawer by using this charger!
Wanna win? Comment on this post with how many batteries you buy each time you go to the store! We'll pick one comment to win a Family Charger and some Energizer Rechargeables!
You can enter once per day until the end of the promotion (11pm CST on May 10th).
Giveaways are subject to complete site rules. (Be sure to give us a way to reach you if you win, and remember that we will never use your email or contact info for anything other than to send your prize.) Good luck!

How many batteries we buy on each shopping trip depends on the time of the year. Nearer X-Mas and we buy in BULK but during the off season we typically just pick up one or two 6-9 packs on a given trip.

ReplyDeletepkbailey@charter.net
I'll usually buy a 4 pack
ReplyDeleteWe usually try and find good deals, on the big packs of batteries, but still it seems we go through those too quickly.
ReplyDeleteclarkmurdock@yahoo.com
We buy a 24 pack of AA batteries a month (for computer accessories, gaming accessories, kitchen gadgets, etc.) It's really gotten out of control and we would LOVE to win this and start saving some money!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway!
My husband is a total geek, so we always have a stock(pile) of batteries (organized by type/size/expiration date).
ReplyDeleteI buy batteries about once a month or so.
ReplyDeletewe buy our batteries at walmart.
ReplyDeleteWe buy many packs of AA batteries and some AAA packs too! Great giveaway! Thanks! senekers@comcast.net

ReplyDeletefroggypartyof2@aol.com
I buy a 16 pack of AA regularly.
ReplyDeleteI just placed an order for 48 AA batteries my charger died and I keep mixing up the dead ones with the useful ones havent received the order yet
ReplyDeleteWe probably buy at least one pack of AA batteries each time that we go to the store and then once every few months its AAAs and D batteries.
ReplyDeleteI just posted the comment about buying AAs every time I head to the grocery store, then AAAs and D batteries....
ReplyDeleteemail is lindsay.stixrud@yahoo.com
I don't buy a lot of batteries. Most of my stuff is done with rechargeable so I maybe buy batteries once every couple of months.
ReplyDeletedillon.sostrom@yahoo.com
Daily entry!
ReplyDeleteI buy a pack of AA every 2 weeks and D batteries every month! My boys go through batteries like crazy with their RoboRaptor and RV cars!
Thanks!

Way too many to count. We're always going through AA batteries. I would love to win this!
ReplyDeletejanmcd01@yahoo.com
When I buy batteries, I usually buy at least the 8-packs of AA or AAA
ReplyDeleteI want to be as green as possable and I like the idea of rechargable batteries but right now they are a bit on the pricey side. So many things I own take AA so I could really use this
ReplyDeleteI buy a super 24 ct pack of AA, 8 pack of D, 8 pack of AAA, and then various numbers of the tiny batteries and Cs monthly. We don't even have that many battery operated toys and my flashlight is a wind up,but there's the Wii, the remotes, the mobile. I consider myself very Green. The Batteries are where we are stuck, so I would love to win this.

ReplyDeletecharisscharity [at] yahoo [dot] com
Thanks
we buy batteries every few months, usually AA the most.
ReplyDeleteI always buy the HUGE multi-packs in Sam's of both AA and C and keep the other sizes in stock as well but we don't use those as often so they are not every single trip.
ReplyDeleteWith 5 of us living here always needing to be plugged into something or other (even to sleep) and Kyra and Ian "borrowing" every time they come over it seems like even then we are replacing them constantly.
Great giveaway, thanks for the chance to win.
At least a 6 pack and most of the time more depending on the size
ReplyDeletebuy large pack each month. I am a follower
ReplyDeleteBatteries
ReplyDeleteI buy a 4 pack when I need them.
ReplyDeleteCan I just go with it seemss like millions??? No, I usually buy AA batteries for the Wiimotes every couple of weeks..(we do have a recharger, but they 'forget' to put it on..)

ReplyDeletebraaisjo at gmail dot com
I buy as I need them.
ReplyDeleteeddiem11@ca.rr.com
I usually buy a couple of 8 packs at a time. Between all the remotes, the battery operated toys and the cameras it seems like we are always short on batteries.
ReplyDeleteI get the AA and I spend too much love the idea of going green but the start up cost is expensive if you are on a budget
ReplyDeleteWe go through AA's like they're water. I almost always buy those in packs of 8.
ReplyDeleteI buy the 36 packs from Costco!
ReplyDeleteI'm always buying AA batteries, I buy one 24 pack a month and that usually isn't enough. I'm really interested in switching to rechargeable batteries to save money and the environment.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like we use a lot of batteries so I buy them in bulk at Costco!
ReplyDeleteThanks

we usually buy the cake of batteries at Christmas when places like sears or farm and fleet have them on sale. Last us all year as we do use rechargeable batteries also
ReplyDeleteWe usually buy the 12-16 packs of one kind each month. This would be a great help.
ReplyDeleterisnajax@Metrocast.net
i usually buy an 8 pack per month
ReplyDeleteSometimes it seems like everything we own uses batteries, remote controls, watches, flashlights, doorbells, bike lights, clocka, radios, digital camera's, etc etc. We buy batteries everyweek - and stock up whenever they are on sale!
ReplyDeleteI buy a package of 8-10 AAA and AA about every 3-4 months.
ReplyDeleteI used to have one of these years ago, and believe me it is a real money saver!! I need to get another one, because along with other battery gadgets my keyboard and mouse are wireless and go through batteries like you wouldn't believe. I have to buy either AA or AAA every week. I need this!!
ReplyDeleteI buy them as we need them, normally a 4 pack here and there! Thanks! hawkgirl_16 {at} hotmail {dot} com
ReplyDeleteWow, it seems like everything in the house takes batteries. I try to save money by getting the largest pack available, and it still seems like I am always buying more.

I usually buy the big containers that have 12 or 24 batteries in them.
ReplyDeleteI always forget to get more batteries when I go to the store and we end up switching out batteries from different things to find ones that work haha
ReplyDeletewordsmoveme(at)gmail(dot)com
I buy the large packs from BJ's. They hold us over for awhile... I also go to Big Lots and buy 4 packs for a dollar! But when my daughter starts talking and walking i am sure all her toys are gonna require lots of batteries!! Rechargable is the way to go! Green and save on green! Us single moms need to save wherever we can!
ReplyDeletethx
