Saving Money with New Lightbulbs

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my privacy policy.

It is no secret that we’ve been spending a lot of time and energy finishing our basement recently.  It is almost done and we are down to adding final touches.  This includes putting in light bulbs. I did a little research before heading to the store and GE Energy Savings light bulbs offer a tremendous dollar savings and savings for the planet.  Calculate your savings!

After seeing how much I could save in just the basement alone, I went off to the store to get some new light bulbs for the space and to replace my the current ones on our main level.

I found a huge selection including ones for the flood light.

I decided to buy some school supplies with the money I was saving to donate to H’s classroom.  With the holidays coming up, they are doing a ton of projects and the teacher said they are running low on supplies already!  I chose Elmer’s glue because I know the kids use a bunch of it. I really like the #GlueNGlitter so I picked some of that too.

Once home, we created a board to illustrate our savings using the thing my kids understand most: candy!

Our school supplies went into a cute little stocking to be taken to H’s class as a donation.
