Don't buy CFL's, at least not for areas that have short use cycles, such as bathrooms, hallways, garage, or any other area where you would turn off the light in less than 15 minutes... Just buy incandessant lights for short term use and areas where breakage may be more likely (i.e. the ceiling fan where you play the WII)... The better solution is for people to learn to turn off light that are no in use... Not using power unnecessarily will save you more money than over-paying for a toxic light source like CFL's... Buy a bunch of cheaper bulbs for now, then wait for LED's to come down in price...
