Do you have nightlights in your home? Some people leave these on all the time. We have 3, 2 of which are supposed to cycle off with sunlight, but they are really constantly on. 2 are 1.5 watt (the ones that are constantly on) and the other is a 4 watt, which is only sometimes on. LED bulbs are coming down in price, there is currently a half watt pack of 2 night light bulbs in Target.
1/2 watt nightlight, $.79/year to run 24/7
1.5 watt nightlight $2.37/year to run 24/7
4 watt nightlight $6.31/year to run 24/7
Okay, doesn't seem huge, does it? However, all these little things around our house are the things to add up to giant electric bills! If you have the nightlight w/a replaceable bulb, it would make a lot of sense to purchase the 2 pack LED from Target. It is $5.99 without coupon or $3.99 if this coupon works. GE coupon I will be waiting until just before this coupon expires, holding out for a stackable Target coupon, however this may make sense as a purchase for your family now. The payback time is fairly short. At $3/bulb, it will pay itself off in just over 6 mos, at $2/bulb, even less. Great payback time! And after it is paid off, that is $5.52 every single year you can do whatever you want with!
