To maximize your “hoarding dollars” -

buy only 100 watt bulbs for now.

There is a “phase out” period, starting in 2012, and starting with the 100 watt bulbs, then working its way down to lower wattage bulbs.

Thanks. didn’t know that. The cashier at the dollar store where I buy them had not heard they were being phased out. Maybe this news has slipped by a lot of folks.

Goodwill, yard sales, etc., I've got quite a collection, my fav. is an old Edison shape(like over yer' head when you get an idea) 300 watt'r that puts out a great big beautiful spectrum & BTU's too, I use it in my bedroom in winter on a dimmer(lasted for years now).

Worked for a time in theatrical lighting , so I'm quite the fan of the wonderful variety of the blessed incandescent!

Try BIG BOX stores, I recently bought a pallet from one of them for $.66 for each pack of 4. My wife and the store cashier nearly called the men in white coats since we were in buying something else, but HEY it was a deal.
