I'm eyeing LED bulbs too, but so far, I don't have the money to replace the lights in my house with them. Hopefully they'll come down in price soon, and we'll see (!) a lot more LED lights about.

With 2 kids in college, I can tell you how they did it. Tuition is through the roof and they raise it substantially every year, more than the COLA. The cost per credit hour at GMU, where my kids are students, is double that of the state colleges in Florida where we used to live. I would like to know that they were spending my hard earned dollars (okay, my husband's hard earned dollars) more prudently than $75 per lightbulb.
But, I have no faith that they are.
