Default If you don't like CFL bulbs

If you don't like the new compact flourescent light bulbs then you better stock up on the old kind now. As of December 31st, most stores are supposed to stop stocking the old bulbs so they will be very hard to find. Word must have gotten out because they are already scarce in my area.

Oh, no! I guess I better start stocking up quick then! The CFL bulbs give me horrible headaches, and I have a hard time seeing clearly with them too.

I do like the CFL bulbs but they are so expensive. I've been trying to replace mine as they burn out but it's not easy to spend $5 to $7 dollars on the CFL bulbs instead of 4 incandescent bulbs for $1.

I am not a fan of the CFL bulbs, but I had heard about this so I have a decent stock of the old kind. I still use the CFL's in some places, but not anywhere where someone might want to read or write.

I'll be in big trouble then. I sure don't like the light the CFLs give out. I guess today is going to include a trip to the Dollar Tree to stock up. Does this include the night light sized bulbs? Man! That's going to be horrible!

Fortunately, someone passed this little tidbit on to me a while back, and I have a shelf full of the old kind in a closet. Thanks for the reminder so I'll remember to pick up a few more though. They are already hard to find here.

I have never spent a ton on the new bulbs so maybe I am just hitting up the stores when I need to. I have also found some great deals online, maybe its best to check there instead of local stores that jack the prices up.

It looks like I will be stocking up, too! I am not a fan of the CFL because I dislike how dim they initially turn on. It makes it quite difficult to see what you need to see. I know they are better for the environment, so I hate admitting how much I dislike them!
