  • Tell them you are stockpiling in case your smoke/CO alarms need them, or your flashlight dies. Look through your place and find anything else you have that needs batteries (except the actual reason) to add to the list.

    Another idea is that you are planning on buying a younger cousin (or three!) some battery-powered toys as gifts and you would like to know if they could help by pitching in for extra batteries (so that they can play for a while and have reloads).

    Come on.. get sneaky!

  • Do a web search for DIY science projects that need AA batteries. We all need things to keep us active without leaving home. See if they will order the entire experiment for you. Be certain to build the experiment during the day, but you can use the batteries in other devices once you have gone to bed.

    • I see that you have the batteries, now. How did you get them?

    • I told them I needed a flashlight

  • I've never had to say anything more than "we need AA/AAA Batteries". We have remotes and certain family games, like uno roboto, that require batteries. It really shouldn't be that hard.

    • They are always just so nosey

    • You could always lie and be done with it lol

    • That will ask a million questions about it

  • Do you really need batteries? There are other more natural ways of achieving pleasure...

    • It takes forever and sometimes I can't without

  • You want to be as "GREEN" as possible, so rechargeable ones, and on AMAZON, with the charger, for your alarm clock, so you wake up on time!

  • Bzzzzzzzz... 😁 Enjoy

  • That must be so difficult to deal with!

    • For real

  • Start stealing the remotes batteries abd swap them with dead ones

  • You say you're not allowed to go out but they would have to go out to get the batteries. I guess that means you're not 18-24?

    • Exactly

    • @TheManTheMyth it's interesting that she's replied to every other comment except mine. It was a simple question.

    • Im just wondering why she is like in prison at home lol, why do her parents have such control over her?

  • you literly need batterys for a million different things, so i do not think its a clue really

  • Are you really 18? Just order some. You are too old to be explaining things to your parents

  • Hide ur tv remote batteries and act as if they run out already lol

  • That would be lie to them. Hi just find something you own that takes those, or you are having a science project and you have to make a home made battery and need something to go off of with the design.

  • Order them online and buy in bulk for your device.

    • I think that will take like over a week.

    • Waiting a week is faster than trying to convince your parents you need D-Cells for your non-existent MagLite.

    • Option two... explore a rechargeable option. I imagine they exist, right?

  • You should get a USB one it saves tons of money. I had the same problem until I had my USB one.

    • For real. I didn't even know they had those

  • E-bay, Amazon- shouldn't be much of a problem.

  • Lolol there are plenty of uses for AA batteries. Just say your remote died 😂. Or just get a vibrator thats rechargeable

  • 🤔🤔🤔😳😯😯😯😯 I'd bet I know what the batteries are for!!! 🥴🥴🥴🥳🤪😁
    Tell them they're for a online class you're taking while quarantined , !!

  • LOLOL

  • If you are not allowed to go, what makes you think your parents are?

  • Just go to the store. You are certainly allowed to go to the store.

  • you grown... go get y'own batteries for your toys

  • Just say it's for the vibrator. that should teach them not to be noisy

    • They would for real kill me or something

    • XDDD. Then just use fingers until the quarenteen is over. Or a brush

  • Can't you buy them on amazon? 😗
