Buy CFL bulbs for $1 to $3 less
Electric cooperative members in many downstate Illinois areas can now purchase energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs, or CFLs, at discount prices. The discounts are part of a program sponsored by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity in downstate areas, to promote increased use of energy efficient CFLs. The bulbs are being discounted by $1 to $3 per bulb, or more in some cases, by participating retailers.
Sixty-two retailers, including some County Market, Ace Hardware, CVS Pharmacy, Family Dollar, Kroger, Rural King, Niemann’s and True Value stores are participating. A complete list of participating stores can be found at www.aiec.coop.
If you replace 20 old bulbs with 20 CFLs you can save up to $100 in energy a year. They also produce less heat and last eight times longer.
