Best price point for Christmas lights for house?? (pref icicle lights).....

[redgtxdi]

So after realizing that I need to get on the ball WAAAAAY early, I finally stopped by Lowe's & got the eve clips for the house. No staples, nails, screws.....just push on & in January....pull off. (aahhhh)

So I want to get new lights for the house & Lowe's had about 5 different kinds of icicle lights. I want white/white wire and, of course the nicest were this frosted bulb w/ twinkle & clips to keep the bulbs pointing down, LED, smart-on, etc. Great, but they were friggin' $25 for 100 bulbs. That's 2 strands of 6.5 feet.

Seeing as that'd be around $200 worth of lights, I might be interested in something a little cheaper.

Suggestions?

I thought the cheap ones were all you could get anymore.

Costco, they have some 15ft LED multi colored with white wires, 8 different functions and a remote control, $17.99 a set. I already got mine for this season, they are outstanding quality. Here is a link. they are not by GE though.

Indeed! (as in "made in China) although GE seems pretty proud of these....

I like the idea of Costco but I will probably stick with white. However, if I change my mind, I'd definitely be all over those.

They have plain white also, $14.99 for a 9.5ft string. Same as the GE from Lowes. They are in my video below, I have posted it before.

I'm near the Chino lights which used to be pretty killer, but they're not quite what they were 20 years ago. (still nice to stroll though)

Maybe try bulk online ordering. Works with beef.
