Finding cheap linoleum depends on whether you are looking for (made from natural linseed oil) or the more common sheet vinyl , which is often called linoleum in casual conversation. Sheet vinyl is generally the cheapest option, often priced under $1.00 per square foot , while authentic linoleum (like Marmoleum) typically starts around $2.00 to $5.00 per square foot for materials. Best Retailers for Budget Linoleum & Vinyl

For the lowest prices, look at major home improvement warehouses, discount outlets, and specialized online liquidators:

: The go-to for budget sheet vinyl, with many "cut-to-length" options priced between $0.99 and $1.50 per square foot .

: For small rooms like bathrooms or laundry rooms, ask local stores for remnants —leftover pieces from larger jobs sold at a massive discount. Opt for DIY-Friendly Click-Lock
