In late 2017 I replaced nearly every 40 W, 60 W, or 100 W incandescent in my house with "Great Value" bulbs from Walmart. An instant rebate deal Walmart had with Puget Sound Energy that made the 40 W and 60 W equivalent bulbs only $0.17 made it cheap enough that even if it turns out the bulbs sucked and I had to put back the incandescents I wouldn't be out too much.

They are all still working fine.

Most of them don't get heavy use, but my bathrooms both have several of the 100 W equivalents and those get used several times every day.
