Save Money --- Even Bigger Sales This Week

With Christmas sales lagging somewhat we can expect stores to cut prices even more this week. So you that have procrastinated, you may be the ones who reap the biggest rewards this Christmas when it comes to saving money. Still apply the rules we've learned for saving money this week and remember ... a sale isn't a sale if you or the person you' re buying for don't need the item. So shop smart and save money.
A note on compact fluorescent bulbs:
Analysts at the nonprofit Earth Policy Institute estimate the United States could close 80 coal-fired power plants if Americans switched over en masse to compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). It's hard to say exactly why a quicker transition over to CFLs hasn't taken place. China, Australia, Canada, Venezuela and Cuba have committed to phasing out incandescent bulbs within the next five years, and dozens of other countries, including all 27 members of the European Union, are deliberating whether to follow suit.
Switching over to CFLs doesn't come without trade-offs. Bulbs each contain trace amounts of mercury (usually four to five milligrams), a toxic heavy metal. Exposure to mercury can cause a wide range of health problems, including damage to the central nervous system, kidneys and liver. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the amount of airborne mercury present after one of the bulbs break is negligible. Nonetheless, the EPA recommends that , you should immediately open the windows and vacate the premises for at least 15 minutes to minimize the risk of exposure. Afterward, you should clean up using gloves and/or paper towels or disposable rags (and avoid using a vacuum cleaner, which can stir up the airborne mercury). Remaining fragments, as well as rags used to clean up, should be sealed in a plastic bag and disposed of at a household hazardous waste collection site.

Hope this will give you a better idea of the rewards and the risks associated with these bulbs. Happy Savings!!!
