Hello everybody!! This is my first post and I hope it will be of some use to all you bargain hunters out there!! Tesco (all stores) will be reducing the prices of some of their Energy Saving Lightbulbs to 1p tomorrow morning. This will apply to ALL Energy Saving bulbs with a green band on the packaging saying "lasts for 6 years". Usually Tesco refuses to sell any products priced at 1p as there is usually some sort of problem with the product, however we have been told that we are receiving extra shippments of the above bulbs to clear all company stock of "6 year" bulbs to comply with a new government legislation that Energy Saving bulbs must last a minimum of 10 years!! All stores have been informed about this price change, which will go live at about 5am!!! By the way this price will apply to all Tesco branded bulbs as well as General Electric, bayonet cap as well as screw cap, all shapes- as long as they are marked with the green "6 year band"!! So get out there and bag a few bargains!!!!
Enjoy

1p an energy saving bulb beats the 49p for various wattages I paid at Netto few months ago.

Unfortunately I stocked up so seeing as they last 6 years I won't be buying any more for a while.

Has anyone seen a 200 watt energy saving lightbulb anywhere?

Unfortunately I had to buy an ordinary one for a partially sighted uncle because I couldn't find any of these flourescent bulbs anywhere.

It was probably because the light wasn't very good!

Sorry Tesco, but this may cost you loads.
A tip that I picked up from 'Martins Money saving tips', is that Tesco, (and most other supermarkets), will give you a voucher to obtain 'special offers' later, if they run out of stock before the offer ends. Present the voucher when the offered goods are back in stock, and you will only have to pay the 'special offer' price
Happy hunting,
Leo.

No sign of any bulbs in Tescos near me.

All the bulbs in my local Tesco were "6 year" ones and yet they were all priced normally.

Probabily not listed as a special offer though, just a price change. So it doesnt apply.

Also, product codes are likely to change for the new type of bulb so you wont be able to get the product once they have sold out.
