Saw a guy at Home Depot paying full price for LED bulbs, coulda saved him 40%

I was grabbing some stuff at the Home Depot on Elm Street last weekend and this guy had a cart full of those GE 60-watt equivalent LEDs at $4.99 each. Our utility company does a mail-in rebate for LEDs that drops them to like $2.99, but you gotta check their site first. He just grabbed them off the shelf without looking. Anyone else notice people ignore utility rebates?

$5 each for those bulbs? That's CRAZY.

Three bucks is my personal limit for light bulbs. Last year I bought a 4-pack of those fancy LED ones from the hardware store, dropped one on the driveway and it shattered into about fifty pieces. Had to sweep it up for twenty minutes in the dark. So I guess $5 each is still cheaper than my clumsiness tax.
