While helmets don't prevent concussions (I'm living proof), they definitely save lives (living proof of that as well).
I think if you bring your old helmet in to most shops, they'll give you a discount on a new one or something along those lines. It may just be a few of the manufacturers that offer that.
Either way, worth checking into. Money saved is money saved.
