I actually got a few on sale in 2 packs for about $9 for two but that was a while back. I just kept replacing one a week and eventually they were all done. I scored on the "60 watt" comparables though - got a 6 pack on clearance for $8... ahhhhh :) @dawn - it is hard to say if I have seen savings, since we started replacing them as soon as we moved into our house so we don't have a baseline to compare to. I will say though that our bill in April (when we were using probably the same amount of lights/appliances etc as now and no a/c yet, and only 1 or two of our bulbs had been replaced since we moved at the end of March) and last month's bill were about $10 different - so maybe that means we save about $10 a month with the majority of our bulbs CFL. If this month shows the same, I'll believe it. lol. We have gas heat so that isn't a factor. @Ron - we had 10 recessed can lights, mostly in our two bathrooms.
