***incandescent light bulbs to last me***

Same here. every time I open a drawer or storage box I find more 100W light bulbs.
Now it is getting hard to find the 100W equivalent in squiggly fluorescent bulbs.

Me too. I'm up to my azz in 100W bulbs.

Wish I'd bought more 60W now.

Hard to find in big stores, my hometown locally-owned supermarket has a lot of incandescent bulbs, and I buy a few every time I shop. Will buy even more.

They also carry non-clumping kittie litter in 10-pound bags, just right for a girl like moi to schlep upstairs to 2nd floor apt. And right for beloved kittie who does not deserve to have clumping litter clump up in his intestines.

They also have super yummy grass-fed beef and lamb, yum, but kittie should be so lucky.

“Buy locally” really works.

Amazon still sells the 100w equivalent CFL. When a CFL fails here we are switching to leds. The color spectrum is easier on the eye and the price has dropped dramatically.

Apparently, GE has stopped making squiggly bulbs (compact fluorescent) altogether.

They possess several years of back log, but they and Phillips have retooled their factories to solely make LED bulbs.
