Remove Batteries From Disposable Cameras
Did you know there is an AA size battery, and sometimes a AAA battery, inside disposable cameras that is used to power the camera flash?
When you take these cameras in to be developed just let the clerk know that you would like to have the battery inside back. Almost every one of us have some sort of electronics that we could use the rest of the life of that battery for and be saving some money by doing it.
And, whether or not you use disposable cameras, it certainly wouldn't hurt to ask the person doing the film developing if they have any batteries from other people's cameras or if they would mind starting to take them out and save them for you. Hey, it doesn't even have to be your favorite film developing store. Just visit a few and ask if they are willing to keep them for you and just be sure to pick them up every week or two.
It never hurts, nor does it cost anything to ask. :)

What a clever, money saving idea. I don't think I would ever have thought of this.

It really makes a lot of good sense! Those disposable cameras sure don't use those batteries all up, they must have plenty of good use for them, and they sure don't need to be thrown away, so how many of them have been thrown away for all of those years I now wonder?
