Changed my mind about those cheap LED bulbs from the dollar store

I bought a 4-pack of those off-brand LED bulbs for my kitchen fixture last month, and three of them flickered out within two weeks. It cost me more time climbing up and down the ladder than it saved on the price tag. Has anyone else had better luck with a specific brand of LED bulbs that actually last?

Three bulbs out of four in two weeks? That's not even bad luck, that's just a sign to stop buying light bulbs at the dollar store. People act like a few bucks saved is worth the headache, but climbing a ladder twice in a month sounds like a solid argument for spending ten dollars more. Maybe just grab a name-brand pack from the hardware aisle and call it a day.

My buddy Jim bought six bulbs from the bargain bin and three died within a week, Kelly_miller80.
