It is officially the time of year to stock up on batteries. Don’t make my mistake. A number of years ago when our oldest was little and our only child, we purchased a large complex car track for him. I knew he was going to love it Christmas morning. I was so excited! Christmas Eve my husband built this complex system and we smiled with sweet satisfaction knowing the joy it would bring to our son the next day. And then we turned it on. Oh dear, obviously the system required batteries. And of course, they were not included in the box, nor were they the type that I had in the house. There is nothing like a 10pm Christmas Eve battery run to instill a degree of fear and self-loathing. Thank goodness for gas stations.
Now? I stock up. People- don’t make my mistake. Make sure your house is stocked this Christmas for all the various toys that will need a little power. And while you’re at it, why not save a little cash in the process? Currently Energizer will provide you with up to $8 in Toy Cash™ (via prepaid MasterCard® or PayPal™) when you purchase specially marked packages of Energizer MAX batteries with Power Seal Technology.
Energizer makes their cash back system super easy. The entire process took me about two minutes.
