Loving my carpet deals

Deal #1:
Beautiful sage green carpet with ivory leaves, 12x17', $200 from Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Looks marvelous in the guest room, and there is enough left do to the office with minimal seaming. Spent the same as I was planning for a poor-quality remnant from local carpet store.
Neighbor man who installed it deemed it "very good."


Bonus: Brand new with absolutely no signs of fleas, stains, crime scene blood or anything else I feared.

Deal #2:
Golden, plush, Mohawk remnant 12x20' from flooring store one town away. Will be just right in our bedroom and adjoining sewing room/closet.

Was planning to pay $300 for a nice carpet, but not the style I wanted, from local store. This was marked $279. Went to pay for it and was charged $213 including tax.
