Fun Frugal Finds – New Bathroom Rugs!

Frugal Finds and Hot DealsI’m a bargain shopper and I’m not afraid to admit that. I’m always hunting down deals and bargains for the things that I need and/or want. I rarely pay full-price for anything and will often times do without, until I find it at a price that I’m willing to pay.

With all of that said…I needed some new bathroom rugs for our master bathroom and I’ve been hunting for the perfect set for the past 6 months. Sure, I’ve found a few sets that I liked, but I wasn’t willing to pay $45 or more to get them. Nope, I’m too frugal for that.

As a neat and clean freak, I won’t buy bathroom rugs with a foam backing. Why you might ask? Well, I do a lot of washing and foam-backed bathroom rugs always fall apart on me within 8 to 10 weeks. That foam cracks, peels and falls apart in my washing machine…clogging it up and looking nasty.

So, I always look for 100% cotton bathroom rugs with no foam backing. I like them to be thick, so they’re absorbent. I want the edges of them to be completely finished off and please…don’t give me any of that nasty fringe stuff either. I need them to hold up to being machine washed (gentle cycle) once every 3-4 weeks and then line-dried.

Anyway, I was browsing around online and found a clearance sale on bathroom rugs. They were regularly priced at $26.99 each. They were on clearance for $7.99 each. I then used a 25% off online coupon to bring them down to a little over $5.00 each and they took my coupon for $1.99 shipping too! So, my bargain shopping netted me 2 brand new cotton bath rugs for less than $15.00 shipped straight to my home and I love them!!!

Are you picky about the bathroom rugs that you buy? Am I the only one who hates foam-backed rugs & mats? Have you found any good bargains or deals lately?

  1. I hate foam-backed rugs & mats for the same reason you do. I love bargain shopping and rarely pay full-price for anything either. It’s like a natural high to see how much I can save.

    What a great dea!! I, too, hate the foam backings….what a mess they make if you happen to toss them in the dryer…which is a big mistake. lol

  3. Foam backing is a bad idea. When I used them they would always disintegrate.

  4. This is great. I need a new bathroom rug.
