To be frank, I’m not sure if replacing the single pane with double pane is: A - something I can afford at the moment and B - something I can DIY (which adds to point A).

I have a feeling that the windows are a large part of my electricity usage (due to AC constantly running), I have them “foiled” and really tempted just to board them up. Before I go to that extreme, I was thinking maybe there’s something I can attach to the outside that would essentially add that 2nd pane, or at least block some sun from hitting the glass.

suggestions?

    Shutters won’t help much. Storm windows are the cheapest help. We just slowly replaced them (exit: the windows with double pain, has filled, vinyl with UV coating) ourselves ($250-300 each at a big box lumber store).
