Default Does anyone have recommendations for budget wiper blades?

I'm looking to replace wipers on my 2000 civic and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a good deal.

Any at the parts store. They're all cheap. Bosch wipers ftw.

Anything in an auto parts store. Be prepared because they probably won't last the winter.

Go to Costco, they have Goodyear wiper blades 2/$12. They work great and last all year. Everyone above is right, get some rainx also

Silblade. Hands down winner. Hands up if you have a wiper blade on your car that is 4+ years old and still works as strong as day one? I do.

Pro tip: It's because silicone wiper blades don't rot in the UV light from the sun.

I've had my Bousch Icon's for a few years they are fine. I bought them at Oriley's...

For my 97 I picked up some michelin blades from walmart they were cheap enough and have been great so far. I've had rain-x blades which from my experience sucked and don't last very long, I've also used trico teflon and they didn't last either and right now have the icons on my 99 and are already chattering across the windshield so I have come to the conclusion of buying whatever is cheap and replacing them two or three times a year. Usually once before winter and then again right afterwards and the last set usually somewhere in between during the year before the next winter starts.

I ended up going to walmart and got the michelin blades after looking online a bit and reading that they were graphite coated like the rain-x latitude
http://pylonhq.com/products_michelin_traditional.shtml
(the link does shows a different wiper blade than what was at walmart, but the blades were made by pylon) and because I was going to walmart anyways. I haven't tried it out, but should be better than the ones on my car already. Thanks for all the replies.

They're not expensive, try your local auto parts.
