Print a coupon for $1 off any Sylvania CFL or Halogen Supersaver light bulb.
FYI, while this is a matter of personal choice, I felt I should say something, especially because many DailyCheapskate readers have small children. I won't use CFLs inside the house because of the mercury content, and I recommend that you don't either; mercury is highly toxic substance, and one broken bulb could expose you or your kids. You also need to be especially careful of how you get rid of used CFLs. Most states have published guidelines about how to dispose of them, but if you can't find the guidelines, put the CFLs into double ziplock bags, seal them with tape, and bring them to a local Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Site. CFLs should not be incinerated, as that releases the mercury into the environment.
However, halogens are mercury-free and are almost as good in light quality as normal incandescent bulbs, and if you find a great deal on bulbs, this coupon could make it even better. I have found that Home Depot generally has the best prices on bulbs; I'm going to check to see if they carry the Sylvania halogen brand.
