Do you need a GFCI outlet?

I needed quite few GFCI outlets, simplex outlets, and 20A outlets for my house. *If you've ever bought these you know they are not cheap, at least not $0.59 like the regular stuff. *GFCI outlets are close to $20 anywhere here in NJ that I've been. Why don't you use the cheaper 15A outlets? I seriously doubt you need many 20A GFCI's. |

IOW, they're just like a 15A outlet. They work fine in a 20A circuit (i.e. they will "pass thru" 20A). BTW, the $.59 stuff should be avoided like the plague. |
