Go to Nina's Discounts in Tamarac for batteries

By Kathy Haines February 3, 2009 11:56 PM

Part of the orientation into Tamarac life is being told about Nina's Discounts, 7112 N University Drive, on the corner of McNab and University.

The kind employees at Nina's have been taking care of Tamarac for 20 years. Need a battery replaced? Extra copies of house keys? Have a broken necklace? How do you like the idea of getting 2 greeting cards for a dollar? Head to Nina's.

My mother turned me on to Nina's when she moved to an adult community in Tamarac. I'm out that way when I visit her, so I can't tell you how many batteries they have replaced for me. My Waterford crystal clocks, a friend's Gucci watch, my grandson's Swiss Army watch, my Turnpike Sunpass.

The magic number seems to be $1 for a new battery, including installation, but the most I've paid was this morning, when they fixed my dead Sunpass for $3. Now I'm ready for another trip.
