Since window kits cost upwards of $15 for a few windows, I bought a roll of plastic (I think it's vapour barrier) and two rolls of tape for about $20. This should be enough for years of window covering, more if I reuse any of it. Tackling the draftiest rooms first, I was able to dramatically reduce heat loss. I still have one window to tackle. Maybe a good project for today!

Great idea!Will be more effective if the plastic wrap is done on both sides of windows.
Thanks, Sardar. The type of plastic I'm using is probably not strong enough for outdoor use here in Halifax - tough winters, but your point is a good one. I'd also recommend caulking the window as well with a peel-off caulk that you can remove in the spring.
