The Great Experiment

Our electric bills sky rocketed this month. Apparently our local power place wasn't making enough money and raised the rates. In my on going effort to save money I have this week replaced at the light bulbs in our house with high efficiency bulbs. One of the grocery stores had them clearance priced at a $1.99 and I had coupons so this was almost like getting them for free. They claim on the package that they will last 7 years?? The funny part is the suggested savings is $55 per bulb over 7 years. You have to read the small print to find out the 7 years part.

Let's see what next month brings when the bill comes!
