Why are light bulbs so expensive these days? Not so long ago I can remember paying just 40p or 50p for a bulb. The other day, on a supermarket shelf, I was astonished to see light bulbs priced around £5 each.
If you are ever stumped for something to give as a wedding or birthday gift, why not consider a pack of three light bulbs neatly packaged in colourful wrapping paper and tied with a nice ribbon? They will certainly appreciate it.
