I’m looking for some area rugs, to spare the wall-to-wall in my condo.

I’d like braided, oval or round. Variety of sizes needed.

Where can I get a good deal online?

Maybe [Heartland Braided Rugs](http://www.heartlandbraidedrugs.com/braided-rugs/pc/home.asp) - and hey, Made in the USA.

I’ve had good luck at [Overstock.com](http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=braided+rugs&SearchType=Header).

The reviews are especially helpful. People will comment on the quality, whether the actual colors match the online picture, etc. I don’t know if they still do it, but Overstock used to have $2.95 shipping specials several times a year. That would save you a lot on the larger rugs.

Not an online source, but I’d suggest checking out thrift stores. I’ve gotten amazing things cheap and I always see lots of rugs.

I’d recommend not getting rugs at a thrift store. You never know what kind of lifeforms or smells you’ll end up dealing with.

I’ve found good moderate priced rugs at [wayfair.com](http://wayfair.com) and jcpenney in the last few years. I’ve seen braided rugs on both.
