We all like to save money, right?  One way to save a few pennies a month is to lower our electrical bills.  Thermal curtains are made from insulating material that allow the room to stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.  It can also keep the light out.  These days, you can find thermal and energy savings curtains in lots of styles, sizes and prices.
