I had one that started smoking and was about to go on fire. Save energy - die trying!

i will definitely be hitting up lowes and home depot pretty frequently over the next few months! during the holidays i bought what they had sitting out and i am hoping to find more regular bulbs. has anyone else noticed any large amount of stock of the older bulbs at any particular store recently?

i have been trying to buy and store/hoard as many ""old -fashioned"" light bulbs that i can. i HATE the CFLs and the light they emit.....and they dont last any longer than the regular light bulbs nor did they save me anything on my electric bill.

Mine have been in for less than 2 months so I don't know if they last longer and no savings reflected yet on my bill but maybe the one I'll be getting shortly. I'm not going to hold my breath. Honestly how much could these possibly save? A couple of bucks isn't worth it to me.

I hope you are kidding about the birds...

I broke one and the stench was so strong I took my pets out ASAP!

I will NEVER use those again...
