Money Saving Tip #178: Free Baby/Toddler Toy - Keys

Babies and toddlers love keys.  The sound of your keys makes them crazy.  However, babies and toddlers really don't care for those bright colored, plastic ones you buy at the toy store.  They want your keys!  The next time you are at the hardware store or any store that makes keys (Wal-mart), ask them for their "reject" keys.  These are keys that didn't work and were brought back to the store.  These keys cannot be reused, and these stores will usually throw them away.  If the cashier wonders why you need them, tell him or her.  Trust me, the employee will beg you to take all of them. 

Gather up about 8-10 keys and put them on an unused key ring, and give them to your baby or toddler.  Make sure to wash them first.  They will love them!  They will especially love the ones with the graphics on them.
