Seattle Area: PSE is giving out coupons for CFL bulbs.

Good deal if you've been thinking about getting some more energy-efficent lighting. Since the coupons are per bulb, you can use multiple coupons on multi-packs (over at Home Depot there is a three pack of the 60W equivalents that runs $6.49, so it only costs you $0.49 if you use three coupons). I also saw some bigger dollar value coupons for special models, like a $8 off for a two pack of the three-way 150W equivalents.

EDIT: Coupon acceptance seems to vary from store to store, even within the same chain, so be sure to check out the list of stores taking the coupon that croak posted. Thanks for catching that croak. I saw the rebates at the Bellevue and Redmond Home Depots and assumed the acceptance was chain-wide, when it apparently is not.

Yeah, that sucks. Don't know if it is store managers being tightwads, but I don't understand why stores in the same chain (like Home Depot, for example) will have some store accepting the coupons and some not. Of course most of the customers in Seattle proper are under City Light instead of PSE, so maybe that is why the coupons aren't valid in the city.

Of course the Home Depot in SoDo doesn't give provide free coffee for their customers (like every other Home Depot in the area), so maybe they ARE being tightwads.
