$8 Window Treatments – Yes you Can!

Like most people that I know I have not changed out my window treatments for more than 2 years.  When we buy curtains they seem to be an item that stays with you for years to come.  Unless you plan on redecorating an entire room your window treatemnts will stay the same.  I think this is because they are something that we just forget about.  They are there and they look good and we figure that if they look good, why change them out.  This is espcially true if you do not have much money.  This was my case.  I had been holding off on buying new curtains for my living room becaus I did not have the extra money to spend on curtains that I liked.  I did not want to just settle for a cheap curtain or shade that I did not like just to get new treatments.

Then, just the other day I was browsing through the great store the Christmas Tree Shops.  This store is full of decorating items and so much more.  I happened upon a curtain that was hanging at the end of an isle and I though, WOW that is a nice looking curtain, then I saw that it cost only $2.99!  I was in shock.  Only $2.99 for a curtain that looks that good.  I had to get them.  I needed 3 of them, so I figured this is a great deal and I can afford this.  Then I realized that I needed to get curtain rods for each window as I did not have any already.  I looked through the various rods at the Christmas Tree Shops and found some really nice ones for only $4.99 each.  Another great deal.  So I put the 3 curtain rods in my cart and headed to the register.  Now, this may sound strange, but I had to actually stop and think on my way to the register and make sure that It was really OK for me to buy these items.  This order is going to cost me a whopping $25 and I am not used to spending that much money at one time.  Well, I bought them and installed them that day.  I am very happy with my purchase and I love that they only cost me $8  for each window!

So, even when you think you cannot buy something, you may still be able to if you find a great deal like I did.  It did take a while to find just what I wanted, but it will happen if you take your time and send your money wisely.  Don’t just buy the first thing you see becuase their may be something even better waiting for you that is even cheaper!
