Tile shopping horrors

C and I spent a combined 5 hours online today looking for tile. He really likes hexagonal tile so I'd really like to find it for him. We also want large tile so there's not too much grout. I actually found the perfect tile - it was made of recycled glass, beautifully colored, hexagonal, rounded edges, and had cool 1/2 and 1/4 hex trim pieces so the edges would look really nice. It was even priced right - $4.50! I've found that the moderately priced tile runs $4-$7 per square foot (although you can spend up to $100 or more!) so I was happy with the price. I even called a few places to inquire about ordering it. I was so happy!

Then C found out what made it too good to be true. The $4.50 was per tile, not per square foot (the standard way to price tile). The tiles were 4", which means 9 tiles per square foot, which means $40.50 per square foot! Yikes! That's just too much for tile!
