Check online. There is a lot of competition for customers, and online stores know it---many offer big discounts, and some offer free shipping on blinds. Combine an ultra low price with free shipping and you'll come out ahead---if you don't mind waiting a few days for the blinds to arrive.

Visit local discount stores. Many discount stores (Big Lots, for example) carry the same-quality products as other retailers---the main difference is that the blinds may have been discontinued or are overstock items.

Browse newspaper ads for a retailer's going out of business sale. These sales usually offer deeper discounts than other types because the business needs to unload inventory quickly.

Go to online auction sites, such as eBay or eBid. You can often find inexpensive household items, new or used, on sites like these.

Tips & Warnings
You can often find bamboo window blinds as cheap (or nearly so) as vinyl window blinds. Thicker, more insulating blinds may or may not cost a little more than flimsy ones---however, they can help keep your heating and cooling bills down.
Don't start shopping without measuring your windows first. No matter how cheap the blinds you find are, it's a waste of time and effort if you purchase the wrong size.
