They had the good color ones for $12.50 at my store too . Two of them. I didn't get them. They are cleaning out all hue products from what I can see.

Cleaned out my local WalMart of two Par38s and two white ambience bulbs. Rang up $5 each; shelf price was incorrect for both. I think the Par38s were $19 and the white ambience were $13.
