I Use Dead Batteries

Tweet

For whatever reason, we tend to use a lot of AA batteries. The remotes take them, and they are used for other things, even in a couple of our clocks. There are a couple in our thermostat. When they are "dead," I keep them instead of just throw them away, since I find there's always just enough juice left in them to power my wireless mouse. I like to think I am making full use of something and also saving money. Waste not, want not, right? Do you use dead batteries for anything?
