I was in everyone's favorite uber-box store, Costco, for my annual pilgrimage to purchase 2 buckets of chlorine tabs for my pool. Was with my two boys who insist that we troll the store for the free samples (those of you who do this are smiling right now).
Lo and behold, what do my eyes spot but Bamboo flooring for sale in the aisle! And then, around the corner, a solar kit for a pool! Hmm. What's going on here? So I thought I'd share a few green-friendly items I spotted while stuffing my mouth full of brownie, ice cream, italian ice and other nifty samples...
Holmes TrueHepa Allergen Remover - $129.99 
Lumen Wireless LED light kit - powered by batteries which are rechargeable-compatible. 3-pk $13.49 
Energy-saving lightbulbs - 15 watts replaces an r30 65watt flood bulb - 4/$12.49. I need these!
Energy-saving bulbs - 23 watts replaces a whopping 120 watt flood bulb. 3 for $13.49
Energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs - good value for 13 watters that replace your standard 60watt incandescent bulb - 8 pack for $10.99. Considering the average life of these, this is a great deal!
Golden Arowana Bamboo Flooring - 23.78 square feet of 3-inch tongue-and-groove boards for $47.99.
Sunheater by Smartpool - PVC hot water solar panel heating system for inground pools ($319 kit) or above-ground pools ($199 kit). See my article on my sunheater installation here.
I was happy to see energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly items making their way onto the shelves at such high profile stores as Costco. Who knows what the next year wil bring?
