Sticker Shock: Light Bulbs are changing!

 Take a good look at these light bulbs.  They are not longer manufactured.  They are a model "A19" in which one (Nuon brand) has a horizontal circular filament inside and the other (GE) has a vertical filament inside.  After leaving the Target store in sticker shock after discovering that they only sell the "new" versions of the light bulbs for $25.00 for 4 bulbs, I stopped by Batteries Plus (Light Bulbs) in the Rosedale Shopping Center.
 This store still has a huge inventory of  "A19" model light bulbs in different wattage for $1.99 per pack of 4.  Definitely a big difference in price!
 I grew up only spending a "couple of dollars" for a pack of light bulbs versus $8.00 for one light bulb.  Forget making sure that you get your electricity bill made; now, families have to make sure that they can afford to buy the light bulbs in a crunch.  Wow!
If you want to stock up on the "Nuon" brand of light bulbs, Batteries Plus said that they have plenty in their warehouse!
