Cheap rugs?

I live in a rented flat and we have cream carpets throughout - i am looking for cheap rugs to cover the living room carpet as I am worried about stuff getting split and losing our deposit when we do move out. (Also means i can take the rugs to our next flat obviously :beer:)
anybody have any recommendations of places online or in edinburgh i can get large rugs cheap?

thanks!

    Ikea have a rug for about £12. It's brown with beige down each side, about 4ft by 6ft
  • I'll get a trip down to ikea then thanks :beer:
    wasnt sure how much their rugs would be - really hard to visualise sizes when you look online. I should get my 6 ft 2 boyfriend to lie on the floor so i know how long it will be :rotfl:

    I've got a stunning rag rug - blues mainly - 6ft x 8ft in my Living Room.

    Was £10 from an ethnic stall at a Festival last year - anything like that going on near where you live? (although I realise it's a bit late in the year!)
