Shedding Some Light on the Situation

Hey guys!

 

In the spirit of going green, I decided to replace all my regular light bulbs with those energy efficient ones. I know, I know, it’s a bit of an initial expense depending on how many light bulbs you have in your home, but starting with just a few is a great start AND  it’ll still knock off a few bucks from your monthly energy bill.

 

As I said initially, I’m a pretty thrifty shopper, so I rarely buy on impulse. The best price I found is actually at Lowe’s. I was able to get a pack of six standard sized bulbs for under $8. This is great, as most of comparable packages start around $10.

 

Anywho, I haven’t gone a full month with the new bulbs, so once I get my electric bill I’ll let you know what difference it made.

 

CBS says: “

You save about $30 or more in electricity costs over each bulb’s lifetime. The average U.S. household has 45 light bulbs; replacing that number of 75-watt incandescent bulbs with CFLs would save $180 per year.CFL bulbs produce about 75 percent less heat, so they’re safer to operate and can cut energy costs associated with home cooling.”

 

 

 

Very nice!

 

Au revoir!
