She Drops These Batteries On The Table And Knows Instantly If It’s Got Juice Or Not!

As long as we are all spending so much money on batteries, we may as well be getting our money’s worth out of them, right?

I have a special place I put dead batteries before I take them to the hazardous waste disposal place, but for some reason, my kids keep taking batteries out of there for their toys and mixing them up with the new ones. (Maybe I need to change my hiding spot for the old ones.)

This test is exactly what I need to be sure we are not tossing new ones or wasting our time putting old ones in to replace other old ones.

Do you have any secret to saving money on batteries?  I sure would like to read about it in the comments below.
