do carpet stores still give away remnants?

| I'm looking for a narrow piece for a mudroom, so thinking a remnant (could be thrown away after winter). Or if anyone knows a store/mail order with narrow rugs (like 4x1 feet), I'd appreciate knowing. |

Home Depot has carpet on rolls that you can buy by the yard. They won't sell it to you cut to one foot wide but you could easily just take a carpet knife and do it yourself.

My reaction to this posting is "get a life!" Why do you care enough to post this question? |

| Never heard of them giving them away. You can buy them, and I have. They are not cheap, like a couple hundred with the edges bound with matching tape/fabric. I find it's a pretty cost effective way to get a decent area rug. |

Looked for doormats 4x1 and didn't find any. Not sure it makes sense as a set of dimensions for a doormat. |

| How about some sort of carpet runner? But the PP has a point - it's kind of an odd size of floor to carpet. For a mudroom, why not just leave the floor bare? |

| OP, I would also check out the *rugs* that cooks use in front of stoves. They are padded and have the non slip surface underneath. |
