jerry_taylor31 asked:

I bought 12″ x 12″ ceramic tile from Lowe’s branded as SURFACE SOURCE with a PEI rating 4. I bought each tile for $0.58 each. I want to use the tile for the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room and living room. The tile was made in Mexico. I think the tile was being discontinued at Lowe’s. Thus, I think that is why the price was so low. Did I make a mistake? The tile looks good and feels good so I do not see a problem with. I need an honest opinion.
I bought 10+% extra. I bought a total of about 900 tiles.

    It was probably a discontinued item by Lowe’s. All retailers mark down these products. That is what I prefer to buy. They are usually at cost or below.
