Rayovac Long Lasting Batteries

This weekend I took Charlotte to Toys R Us. She had her large playhouse and pocketed $200. Unfortunately now she think she can sell EVERYTHING in hopes of getting the newest fad on TV, but she does get the concept of sending out and bringing in.

This may help the weeding of toys go less painfully than a few years ago.

Because of her good fortune, I let her go to the toy store and reinvest the money back into newer, upgraded toys that interest her.

She came home with:

  • a set of 150 count wipes (she said her teacher needed some and she wanted to buy her some)
  • A barbie organizer (ok, this was my idea….it has to be done)
  • A hot wheels car wash (This girl LOVES hotwheels)
  • A book

and

  • Some puppy dog that walks on a leash…not in a straight line mind you. It took about 30 minutes to walk down the block yesterday.

On our checkout the cashier said “You will need 4 D batteries and 2 double A’s”. I was happy to tell her that I have all the batteries I need in my drawer. We got home, got those toys together, and even when Charlotte left that dog running half the night, it was still good to go this morning. Thankfully! It could have been tragic.

Long lasting batteries are important in this house.

While we dont use the X-box often, having a controller that works is imperative. And recently when I got a new TV Remote (to the tune of $25…dang DVR), Rayovac was there to remind me that while the remote itself wasn’t long lasting, the batteries I put in it gave me zero trouble.

On March 29th, be on the lookout in your local newspaper for a Rayovac coupon to save $1 off any pack of Rayovac alkaline or hearing aid batteries.

If you dont want to wait, you can always head over to the Rayovac Facebook page and print off coupons right there!
