Bargain Hunter: It's time to strike a light for bargain eco bulbs

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."
