Bargain Hunter: It's time to strike a light for bargain eco bulbs
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If a million households switched to eco-friendly, money-saving LED light bulbs this winter, they could collectively save more than £8bn on electricity bills and 5m tonnes of CO2. That's the message of the 'Savvy Switch' campaign launched by online LED retailer LEDHut.co.uk this week.
But Independent readers keen to try the eco bulbs can do so at a bargain price through this week's exclusive deal. The specialist retailer is offering readers 25 per cent off all spots and bulbs until the end of October. To get the discount go to www.ledhut.co.uk and enter the code hunt25 at the checkout.
£2.50 broadband offer is only a good deal for some
TalkTalk has launched a broadband deal at just £2.50 a month, four times cheaper than BT's standard deal, according to the company. It claims: "When compared over an 18-month period, TalkTalk's SimplyBroadband is £225 cheaper than the BT equivalent." However, the deal does not include rental – which is £15.40 a month – or any telephone calls.
The company is aiming the deal at those that rely on their mobile for calls, but if you do use your home phone you could lose out, as Adam Kirby at uSwitch.com explains. "Those who make more than the odd call from their landline may do better choosing a plan with inclusive free minutes to give them peace of mind," he says. "Adding anytime calls to TalkTalk's deal – at £5.50 a month – will take monthly bills to £8, meaning some other deals will be cheaper over the first year."
