IKEA is the place for cheap blinds, if you happen to have one of these retailers in your area.

I have always found cheap window blinds in apt I lived in during college. They always broke, it was frustrating. But I guess the key is to find quality cheap window blinds.

Yes when I talk about cheap blinds, I'm talking about trying to find some on sale or buying direct from the manufacturer to cut costs.
