This is how you can buy an expensive energy saving light bulb on the cheap.

Step 2: find a cheap tungsten light bulb, make sure the box packing can fit your expensive light bulb entirely.
Step 3: swap the two light bulb.
Step 4: take the cheap tungsten light bulb packing (now with the expensive energy saving light bulb in it) to the counter and pay up.

I’ve learnt the tricks few days ago when I was hunting for some new energy saving light bulbs.
I grabbed 2 light bulbs from the shelve, took them to the testing area, and realized that one of it has a cheap tungsten light bulb in it!
It wasn’t the manufacture fault. Someone has made a swap – just like what I’ve mention from step 1 to 5.
You can do it too, it is easier to your pocket, and more environment friendly.
Damn you cheapo light bulb thief.
So beware, check your content before you take it to the counter – down to the minor detail, like the wattage and model number. Some slightly-less-cheapo-thief may swap light bulbs that are not that different in term of looks, but still different by a few ringgit.
