How big are the lights? I think the extension cord should have a tag that gives a rating for how much it can take - add up your 3 lights amperage and see if it's under that amount. And, while your at it - if they're bigger lights, make sure your breaker can handle it all.
If they're small, and just normal plugs, then you can just buy a cheap 3-way splitter for the end of the cord.
And, I can't see how it would help your bill at all - the lights will draw the same power either way.
