Ladies, if you're up for it and don't mind the potential "ick" factor, use reusable menstrual supplies instead of disposable tampons and pads. There's already an open thread about these in the Ladies' Lounge, where many common questions have been addressed. I personally converted to the Keeper seven years ago and, hundreds of dollars in savings later, I haven't looked back.

Of course larger retailers are in the business of making money on selling disposable goods that need to be replenished over and over again, but it bothers me that rechargeable batteries aren't made available more prominently and in larger quantity containers in these stores. Whenever I am in places like Best Buy, Target and Home Depot, I'll pass shelf displays of disposable batteries in huge packages, but the rechargeables are almost never more than four per package, many of which include the charger. I have the charger, I just want more batteries!

Anybody have suggestions on the best place to find these? I've seen them available for ordering online but wasn't sure if there were other, more cost-effective options.
