Regular price at Home Depot is 4 for 7.97. I’ve picked up 8 packs for $10 on sale. I have been switching over slowly, but in the last couple of years they’ve become really cheap. I don’t do it for the environment, just want to cut my electric bill. Besides, these things last forever. I’ve got 2 bulbs in the garage that I paid $5 bucks apiece for 10 years ago and they’re still working fine. LOL
Alas, we have no Home Depot. I haven’t checked Lowes yet.
I don’t mind looking at myself in the mirror under fluorescent light. I’m a winter.

Check Wal-Mart, I see plenty of the newfangled bulbs there.
It’s a Washington Post article. Should we even take it seriously?
A month ago, even my pastor was promoting them (”At my next sermon you’ll learn a great way to save money and energy!”), and I’m not in a church known for political or environmental activism.
I do not even have a mirror in the bathroom right now. However, lighting for putting on makeup can easily be solved by getting a makeup mirror.
I believe these bulbs also contain cadmium?

Oh, I love Cadmium’s candy eggs! Delicious.
It depends where you live. I think the recycling in Maine and Vermont is real, or at least most of it.
mine burn out all the time, I hate the damn things, I replaced my 22W CFL’s with 25W clear bulbs... 3 watt difference and no mercury...
