No matter what there will be a little light leaking out the edges. I used to tape them down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-blackout-curtains#post-1063517 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:33:15 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1063517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: pretty great for $5! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-blackout-curtains#post-1063515 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:32:22 +0000 yellowbird 1063515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: that's what we've been using since we moved in June! Still going strong! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-blackout-curtains#post-1063441 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:05:53 +0000 indi 1063441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the light/heat/noise blocking ones from Walmart and love them. Probably $15-$20 per panel. Keeps the house much quieter and nice and dark on my weekend sleep-ins :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-blackout-curtains#post-1063413 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:56:50 +0000 heffalump 1063413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with the paper blinds from lowes but they got ripped up pretty easily. Now we have the ones from Target. We got a light color and the sun goes right through them, so we put those in our room and got LO a darker color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-blackout-curtains#post-1063410 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:56:12 +0000 MrsF 1063410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: i had no idea there was such a thing. Thanks for the link! </p> <p>I guess I was thinking that curtains might block out the light on the side better than shades. We'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-blackout-curtains#post-1063397 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:51:17 +0000 Emsmems 1063397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got blackout curtains from bed bath and beyond and hung them with a tension rod when we rented our apartment and I worked nights. They are white and blah but they worked REALLY well! Kept the heat out too :). I think they were $20? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-blackout-curtains#post-1063378 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:44:55 +0000 Pepper 1063378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: Same here. </p> <p>The Walmart ones work really well for the price; we had them in our old house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-blackout-curtains#post-1063377 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:44:54 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1063377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: all the more reason to get the paper version. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-blackout-curtains#post-1063373 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:43:58 +0000 MrsF 1063373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: We're renting our house and there are roll-up shades so I didn't bother with curtains. The shades have been fine until now, but mama wants to sleep past 5:30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-blackout-curtains#post-1063371 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:43:49 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1063371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got blackout curtains at Walmart for $12/panel </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-blackout-curtains#post-1063345 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:34:23 +0000 immabeetoo 1063345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: do you already have curtains hanging? i bought blackout liner and just clipped it behind our curtains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-blackout-curtains#post-1063328 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:28:45 +0000 aprk 1063328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got ours at Target. They were $25 each I think, but they are probably more like 85% blackout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-blackout-curtains#post-1063326 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:28:28 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1063326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the paper blackout curtains from Lowe's. They are practically free and I just saw that the ones we hung in our old house are still up an looking good.</p> <p><a href="http://m.lowes.com/product?langId=-1&#038;storeId=10702&#038;catalogId=10051&#038;productId=3443396&#038;store=595&#038;view=detail&#038;nValue=SEARCH" rel="nofollow">http://m.lowes.com/product?langId=-1&#038;storeId=10702&#038;catalogId=10051&#038;productId=3443396&#038;store=595&#038;view=detail&#038;nValue=SEARCH</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inexpensive-blackout-curtains#post-1063320 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:26:59 +0000 MrsF 1063320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M has been waking up with the sun lately so we're in the market for blackout curtains that won't break the bank. I've looked at some old threads but I'm having trouble finding the ones that bees have recommended (people seem to like ikea and BRU but I don't see them on their sites. </p> <p>Do you love your blackout curtains? Major bonus points for links :wink: !</p> <p>ETA: I see a lot of light-colored curtains being advertised as blackout curtains. Are yours light or dark? </p>
