Go Green to Save Green: September 2009

Here's a simple way to save money while going green: using rechargeable batteries.

Are rechargeable batteries cost-effective? Yes, but you will not see an immediate return on your investment. Initially, you will need to purchase not only the rechargeable batteries, but also the battery charger. The rechargeable batteries and the battery charger are sold together, so the cost will be greater than a package of disposable batteries. The total cost will vary depending on the size of the batteries, how many batteries you need, and where you purchase the rechargeable batteries and battery charger.

Discounts are available. Saving money is critical in today's economy, so searching for savings on rechargeable batteries is necessary to find the best value. Searching local advertisements is definitely helpful. In addition, many websites offer coupons and discounts on rechargeable batteries if you buy them online. Occasionally, stores will match or beat online coupons and discounts as well.

Purchasing rechargeable batteries is a long-term investment; even with coupons and discounts, you will not see significant immediate savings. However, unlike many long-term investments, purchasing rechargeable batteries is a risk-free investment that is proven to be cost-effective. My best advice: be patient. If you have the patience, you will reap the rewards of your investment.

If you're like me, you want to be sure your investment is the best choice. You might wonder, "Which rechargeable battery works best?", and "Which rechargeable batteries should I buy?" Online reviews are great resources to find the best rechargeable batteries available. Knowledge is power! The more information you have before you make your purchase, the better.

Rechargeable batteries will not only recharge your wallet, but also help protect our environment. Disposable batteries contribute to hazardous waste in landfills. In addition, they contribute to pollution in lakes and streams. By purchasing rechargeable batteries, you save money and reduce hazardous waste in landfills. You are going green to save green!

Rechargeable batteries are a solid long-term investment. They work well, save us money, and reduce waste in landfills. Who says we can't go green to save green?
