Get them while you can, if you might ever need one, because technically they are illegal now. The republicans managed to remove funding to actually enforce the ban until October, so they can't raid your garage sale looking for standard bulbs for a few months, but they are banned as of this month.
When you have to buy CFLs, remember they contain mercury, so they are hazardous waste. Take them to a hazardous waste collection center rather than putting them in the trash can. When one breaks, ventilate the room and leave the area until the mercury vapor has dissipated.
