I just went to my local Tesco to buy some energy saving light-bulbs but guess what they don't sell them! And there was me thinking that Tesco was the "Green" supermarket....
....oh but hang on Energy saving light bulbs were last years big environmental thing - this years is carrier bags of course silly me!!
Do you know there may be something in that 'cos on Friday our store were selling off old stock from the warehouse including energy saving light bulbs..a box of 10 for only £2.
Needless to say they were then snapped up and I brought a box home myself

Did you put them in a carrier bag?

Didn't have to as they were still in their delivery packaging(a nice sturdy box), then they went straight into my trusty eco friendly shopping trolly!
Used carrier bags for the rest of the shopping though

I have to confess that I don't take my carrier bags back mostly because most of them aren't re-usable by the time they've fallen to bits in transit!!
I do however put them straight into the re-cycling or re-use them to take my packed lunch to work in (using a nice Asda one today!!)

Our tescos have loads of energy saving bulbs. They've also had two "sales" of them as well. I got the majority of the standard sized ones for the house at 11p each. The problem I have is getting the odd shaped ones. We've got a few lights which are awkward and it would cost more in natural resources to replace the fittings than it's costing to use non energy efficient bulbs :-(
