 Topic: Curtains

I need to buy curtains. Ready mades, as I'm way too lazy to sew!
I've been to the normal places, Curtain Supermarket, Briscoes, Harveys. But nothing seems to jump out at me. They either look cheap and nasty or they are too expensive to even contemplate!!
Anyone else got any suggestions as to where to look in Auckland?

Didn't think about the warehouse, will go look there.
And no I'm not nesting They're for the (stupid) unit we have that we're getting ready to put on the market! The things we do when we're 8 months pregnant!

I know, they're not cheap are they! One set I liked at the Curtain Supermarket was going to cost $550! And it's only 4 windows!
I guess I never knew how expensive they were!
And I've already spent $500 on blinds for the bathroom, kitchen and laundry!

We have done the whole house (including Nursery) in thermal backed readymades from Briscoes that were 60% off, and in our kitchen/Dining area we have gone for wodden blinds from briscoes that were also 60% off. Including all tracks and hooks etc, we spent $480.00
They are quite nice curtains, only prob I had was pulling through the strings on a couple of them.
Oh, and I had to spend several hours ironing the blardy things
