Does bubble-wrap work for insulating windows?

[ecomodded]

I guess i could afford it not really a big ticket item haha but i am frugal.
(nice word for cheap)
If i had to i would buy it.
It seems so right to use materials that otherwise would get thrown away.
I will see what i can scrounge, I thought about using cheap blue laminate flooring insulation i can get from a recycler for a few bucks for a 4x100 ft .
I could tape it together with tuct tape make multi layers and staple it over the frame of the two large back windows, as I never open them up or draw the curtains with.

Its ridiculous really to have such a big 5ft x 6ft window in the bedrooms...

No need to explain. As a species, we are marching to oblivion and leaving mountains of trash in our wake.

Even smart corporations find clever ways to turn their wasted material into profits.

I'm not familiar with this material, but use it if you think it will work.

Dry corrugated cardboard makes a wonderful insulation. If you can put it together in layers that don't leak air, you'd really have something.

You really got that one right... you have a 30 square foot thermal hole in the wall, since a single layer of glass is R-1. And you spend your nights there, so view is of no value to you... horrible design.

Block it up, fill it up,
