You might want to check the electrical setup at your home. A friend had issues with incandescent light bulbs going out every few months, he replaced them with LEDs, and they still crapped out too quickly. I'm not well versed on electrical problems, but I'd guess that this was related to brown-outs or a dirty power supply.
Personally at my home, I can't recall a single LED bulb failing since installing some of the first ones in 2010/11 (and these were dirt cheap ones from Lidl). We've also bought some decent e27 8w ones from Aliexpress in ~2011, and of the 6 I bought, they all still work (apart form the cold white one which I took apart). Throughout the past two years I installed a bunch of LED strips around the house, ~20m of which stay on at low power all the time, and I've virtually had zero failures (there may have been a 3cm segment that died, but that's it).
