  Cheap Batteries  
  You know those little button cell batteries that are a pain to replace and extremely expensive. I have a simple solution that can save anyone around $40. All you have to do is go to your local store and buy a 12 volt battery for around $1. After you buy your 12 volt battery get a tool, like a screw driver or tweezers and peel back the shiny outer lining of the battery (Its safe I promise) and inside you will find eight button cell batteries! These batteries can cost up to five dollars each and you will be able to get eight of them for only around $1!
