Just bought some from Sam's Club for $1.16 per square foot and they had
three colors in-stock. We installed laminate in our kitchen about 5 years
ago and its held up nicly through two water leaks and and everything else
that goes on in a kitchen. I have also seen laminate flooring in the
"building Materials section of our local paper for .99 per square foot.

At a $1.75 its a lot less than carpet when you factor in carpet cleaning
over the life of the carpet.

Good luck,

I'm looking for cost effective laminate flooring for the DIYer. I'm
thinking of redoing the whole main floor of my home with it, which
consists of foyer, hall, closet, half bath, kitchen, living and dining
rooms. Any pros and cons to doing the kitchen? I was originally
thinking of just laying tile there for a "traditional" look.

Anyone know of "cheaper" cost for laminate flooring as opposed to the
traditional Lowe's and Home Depot stores? I live in the Baltimore
area. The cheapest I've seen so far is $1.50 to $1.75 a square foot
of Pergo. We don't plan on living in our house "forever", but the
carpets look hideous and it would probably sell better and easier
without that carpet as an eyesore.
