8. Light Bulbs
Light bulbs are pretty inexpensive already, so why shouldn’t you purchase them at the dollar store? Well, one reason is that they reportedly use more electricity, forcing homeowners to spend more on their monthly electricity bill. Cheap light bulbs also produce more heat, sometimes causing unintentional fires. At the very least, homeowners using dollar store light bulbs will need to pump the air conditioning in the summer to combat the heat emitting bulbs. If you’re able to, we highly recommend investing in LED light bulbs; they’re proving more efficient in every way.
