Remember that Home Stretch course I told you about from last weekend? Well, I forgot to mention another money saving, environmentally friendly tip I learned: LEDs. Outfit your house with these suckers to save energy, money, and according to my friend Crista, your brain!
I was super pleased to be provided a BrightBulb Dimmable LED bulb (http://goo.gl/9h6ybt) to review. When I went to Amazon to order it I was surprised at the selling price. These bulbs are GUARANTEED FOR LIFE! I had heard they were spendy but BrightBulb's price is totally doable, especially with my plan to replace with LEDs gradually.
I am bringing this LED to install in our new house but until then have been trying it out in the bathroom. I hadn't realized how godawful popcorn yellow the lighting had been with the CFLs. My neighbor Carrie says that has more to do with the light color than the bulb and assured me that people can get LEDs in many colors too, but I think I will stick to this warm white as it seems more real to me.
Right now I have a good half dozen CFLs as back ups, then The Ogre and I plan to pile our pennies for LEDs as the CFLs burn out. Hopefully Crista will come over even more if my house is a mercury free zone ;)
Wouldn't it be nice if these came in subscribe and save?

I predict they will be as cheap as the old kind within a couple years.
