Free Energizer rechargeable charger

With Christmas upon us, it's the perfect time to get a battery recharger for all of the new toys taking over your house. And a free charger makes it a better time to get one.

Walgreens is offering a $5 store rebate when you buy an Energizer Rechargeable charger, and the manufacturer is offering a $5 rebate for the same charger if you submit your receipt. The regular price of the charger is $9.99.

But act soon before the Walgreens Easysaver period for December ends on Dec. 27.

Here's the form for the manufacturer's rebate. And here are some instructions on Walgreens' rebate program.

It's an easy way to help save the planet by using fewer batteries, and saving money, too.
