Except I haven't found any locally, but thanks for the condescending attitude.

If you meant locally, then say so. Your question was phrased as to if there even was LED replacements for that speciality bulb.
Amazon.ca has a good selection (even if you only look at the one shipped from Amazon themselves).

The Sweethome has their LED bulb review here. Sadly the Great Value ones don't seem to be sold here in Canada, but maybe grab some next time you're in the states.

Most GV ones are in Canada; but they stock slightly different ones in store. YMMV.

Anybody going to Reno Depot, all they have left are the flood lights. Mostly the one with two pins on the base (GU10), and some of the PAR20s. None of the "standard" 60 or 40 watt bulbs; in spite of their website showing inventory.
They did let me us the $150 gift card right away, so I ended up getting a nice 20 volt Dewalt drill/driver set for $50 after the gift card.

Would be okay for spot lighting but for a kitchen ceiling fixture it was horrible. Replaced those with 36-degree LEDs and it's much better, though the halogens still seem to fill in the shadows a bit better.

Costco in Saskatoon had 3 packs of 60w equivalent for $8. I believe it was subsidized by sask power. I grabbed 10 packages (30 bulbs) and they are a nice warm color.
Maybe if anyone has family in s'toon they can grab you some.

Why are A19 led bulbs so hard to find in multi-packs? A number of the suggested retailers above have them as singles but it looks as though high volume sellers no longer sell them in multiples. What am I missing?

We still use incandescent because CFLs were just never that good. We'll switch to LED when it makes more sense.

LEDs pay for themselves in electricity savings in a couple years.

IMO, long term cost savings aside, I find LEDs just last way longer. I'd pay that up front price difference straight up just so I don't have to always replace bulbs Especially track lights. Those are a pain to replace.

Harmony- keep in mind you are quoting a post from 3 years ago when standard LED bulbs were still around $15 each.

No kidding. LED technology has improved slightly over the last 3 years.

price is way down. My halogen floodlights currently cost $15/pair. I bought the LED versions of them for $16/pair at Costco. I went crazy and bought enough to replace all of the spiral CFC ones that we had inserted instead of halogens. $0.50 more each, but I love the thought that I may never ever have to change them again before I sell this house. Also, the $$ savings.

LED's really don't save much on power over CFL's. I'm replacing them as they die, but I wouldn't go buy a bunch to save electricity.

I'm replacing them as I go along with LED but it can be a slow process. We've been in our house almost twenty years and there are a few original bulbs that are still going.

There's maybe saving a few bucks a year at most I think. Electricity isn't horribly expensive in Alberta like other places in the world. It's the damn admin fees.
I replaced a crap ton of Gu10 track lights because I swear they were designed to be heat lamps. I decided to move to LED for heat and coolness (pun totally intended) factor. Those other track lights were just really freaking hot and it felt like I was getting sun burn if I stood too long under them.
Now, I don't know what the heck to do with about a dozen used Gu10 bulbs. I also accidentally acquired 10 Mr16 track light bulbs. I still have them sitting around collecting dust right now as no one I know uses Mr16 track lights.
