Saving money can be ugly.............

Hello fellow mylotters. Recently, I purchased some solar curtains for my home. They are supposed to cut the heating bill and cooling bill by a considerable amount. I read reviews on them and they were favorable, so I got them. I am not happy with them. They are covered in a foil look on both sides, and are absolutely hideous in my opinion. If I had drapes it wouldn't be so bad, but I have vertical blinds and little sunlight that manages to find its way into my home. Those solar curtains would make it even darker in my house, and my plants will die. Now I have to send them back. It gives me an idea, though. I plan to buy some thick, clear shower curtain liners and hang those instead. I'm certain they will help cut the draft and should save a small amount in my heating bill; I'm hoping a good 5% or so. They will look a lot nicer, and it would not look like I am trying to contact my friends in the Pegasus galaxy with all the foil on my windows.
