My wife went to the senior center years ago and the utility were handing out free CFL's. They gave her one at first. Then they asked her if there was more than one person in the house, she then got 8! Supported by DOE and the local utility.

I think what you'll find is that there is an "energy efficiency" surcharge on the bills in your area that is used to pay for those "free" CFLs. Basically a tax on everyone that never goes away.

I have to go back to Home Depot and find the 'real bright white' replacement.

I searched for "cataracts carbohydrates" (without quotes) and Dr Google returned:
