    Is there a place in Sligo wher i can buy cheap energy saving bulbs (B22). All i can find is more than €2(for 8-11W - in Heatons now in offer) for 1 which i think is really dear. I checked in carraroe retail park, tesco, dunnes etc.

    Personally I think Marys is one of the most expensive discount stores I've ever been in
    We bought cheap energy save bulbs ages ago I think it was in marys and yes they were cheap but they give off horrible light they are marked as "daylight" took them out after a day wouldnt use them

    Just remember that cheap bulbs are exactly that, cheap bulbs. Try Derry Taheny or any electrical wholesaler. They'll be selling quality brands, maybe a bit dearer, but should last longer so cheaper in the long run.

    Cheap - only price not quality:) Osram, GE, Philips, nothing else,unknown:) I know that in north you can get 2-pack of them for 1 pound, or in 1 pounds shop more of them.
