   great idea! I have acquired many packs from Staples FREE After rewards but they are gigantic packs. Clever.

  I agree it is great idea. I too have bought a few giant packs. Is there a clever way to break up these large packs into small attractive packages (break up 20 pack into 5 4-packs for example)?

  Get the little cellophane bags and put the amount of batteries you want in the bag. Tie the saying on with some cute Christmas ribbon. Don’t forget to add some cute crinkle/confetti paper to the bottom of the bag!

   Don’t forget that Toys R Us has an online promo with their Toys R Us brand batteries which are on sale for $6.99 and BOGO free plus free shipping through Shop Runner. AA and AAA have 20 in a pack, so you get 40 for only $6.99 tax shipped to your door. Good to stock up for Christmas toys! You have to do a search for Toys R Us batteries to find them.

  wow thats great. i think our 99 cent store has the Panasonic brand [i think] 8 pack for $0.99 so only $6 for 48. I wonder if the home Depot Rayovac ones are better quality with “more juice”??

   Love this idea. I give flashlights all the time for presents – so practical. Can never have too many, and especially batteries for them =)

  also, 2 current deals going on that I scored. CVS has their batteries BOGO or $3.99 for the big packs (size D, 8-ct) and I’m fortunate my CVS still allows expired CVS coupons (used $2 off any size in Halloween packs from kiddos). Kroger also has Durracell batteries $1.99, only $.49 for the small pack after $.75 MQ doubles.

    Batteries are a good thing to donate, we do a Christmas sharing tree at our church, and I was amazed how many kids asked for batteries, because they are an expensive item that is not in everyones budget. I try to make sure to include extra batteries in all the toys I donate!
