I went to a Walmart super store (has grocery section also) yesterday and occasionally I drift into the light bulb section just to see what new offerings and prices are and saw halogen incan bulbs (standard screw in) for $4 or more a pair on a separate aisle apart from the on bulb aisle (one side) with an end cap of other halogen incan bulbs and at the other end of the aisle (not on the endcap) there was the fluorescent tube lights plus in there a few LED strip lights and a sign peering out over the top "Fluorescent" or something like that. I spent a half hour going back and forth it seems (maybe it was 15 minutes) and went to the aisles on one side which was the electronics (video games) and the other side... tools paint etc.
To put it simply I couldn't find a single CFL based light in that area not even a CFL based "flood" light there was over half the aisle of LED lights with a few halogen incans in the mix and some smaller screw in incan bulbs for things like vanities and night lights etc. ARE CFLs becoming history in favor of expensive halogen incans and LED bulbs? A year ago or so I bought a 4 pack of CFLs from walmart for 88 cents and the cheapest (subsidized partially) LED bulb was close to $2 EACH. Now I'm not putting down LED bulbs but CFLs costing me a quarter a piece vs LED bulbs costing 8 times or more as much speaks volumes they should do away with incan halogen bulbs more than CFLs IMO. I guess if I need more CFL bulbs either Walmart hid them in another area or I'm going to have to go to Home Depot or Lowes or Target to get cheap CFLs till LED bulbs to me get more efficient and/or cheaper.
