PlanIt Wiser:

Use rechargeable batteries: Although they may cost more to buy, rechargeable batteries will save you 10 or 20 times the original cost by not buying new batteries over and over again. Prolong the life of any batteries by using a cord and AC adapter, if necessary, for radios and other appliances when possible.
