Crap! I forgot to do that this year! I meant to too...

(stock up on lights this year, that is. Possibly LED ones)

Yeah, I planned my new desplay, drew it out, counted how many strings of what color and size (yes, they have C3, C7, C9 equivelents) and went to all the stores looking for them. I got them all after going to about 6 stores, and spending about $120. I spend about half that in extra electricity per season, so after 3 years I'll be square, and since the lights won't need to be replaced and won't need any bulbs replaced for at least 10-20 years, I'll be saving plenty in the future (and helping the environment in the process).


I saw some compact florecent bulbs at Rite-Aid, a four pack for $2.99. Sponsored by another Electric company (the one form down south, but can't think of it).
