Unfortunately, my condo came with some terrible blinds that malfunction all the time. We've put up with them for the last 2.5 years but now they are actually breaking. One has literally fallen off the window and two have simply stopped going up or down. sigh.
We decided to go "all-out" and get some fancy cordless blinds for the two bedrooms. They are cellular blinds without cords. yay! For our enclosed balcony we chose to simply replace what we currently have. They are standard aluminum blinds that are extremely long! We only replaced the two that are broken, but there are actually 8 of them in total.
For the 4 blinds (1 in each bedroom and 2 for the enclosed balcony) came to a whopping $896 (including tax). AND it was 20% off! holy crappola! The price was so high because we got pretty sweet blinds for the bedrooms and the ones in the balcony are just so huge.
I even shopped around and couldn't find anything cheaper. I looked into ordering them online but the shipping would have killed me. I guess this is just the cost of blinds. Live and learn huh?
HOLY CRAP! I knew blinds were expensive but I had no idea that they were THAT expensive. Yknow... You can buy new windows almost with that price (pre-tax)! EEK!
ReplyDeleteI know! I realized that as well. It's just insanity. Don't get me wrong. We could have gone super duper cheap in the bedrooms but they would have been just as crappy as the ones we currently have. So the bedrooms ones are more expensive than they needed to be. The balcony ones though were the absolute cheapest we could find anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI have a web site where I give advise on penny stocks and stocks under five dollars. I have many years of experience with these type of stocks. If their is anyone that is interested in these type of stocks you can check out my web site by just clicking my name. I would to comment. Their are many many ways nowadays to make your money go a lot further. All one must do is put some time and effort into it thats one of the advantages of the current downturn. If you have a job and a very good credit rating you should have no problem getting a mortgage to buy a condo or a single family home. And if you are a really great negotiater or your realtor is you might just be able to buy a house today for less than two hundred dollars that is just like that house down the block that always caught your eye that was on the market four years ago for over four hundred thousand dollars.
