about 3 decades ago, they found that they were much cheaper to manufacture, if instead of evacuating the bulb, they filled it with the inert gas Argon.How can something be 'cheaper' than nothing?

Nature abhors a vacuum, so you must pay for it, big time!

In this case it’s easy... argon does have a cost, however it’s much less expensive than the equipment and the time per bulb in evacuating the bulb.

How can something be 'cheaper' than nothing? Same way that un-leaded gasoline was more expensive than leaded gasoline.
