We just recently got our windows replaced in our house, and
consequently, our old blinds and such no longer fit. We had crappy
cheapo miniblinds anyhow, ready for a change. But I'm shocked and
appalled at the cost of blinds aside from the aforementioned crappy
cheapo ones.

Anyone have experience using insulating blinds, like the cellular
varieties? I figure if I have to spend some big bucks to just cover
the windows, might as well try to get something that will save me
money somewhere else.


I have cellular shades, and they seem to work. I have good Andersen
windows, but when you raise the cell shades a crack on a cold morning, you
can feel a draft. So based on that, I'd say they work.
