    Watch for Thanksgiving/Christmas sales... I think I picked up 16-sq.ft. packs from Sams or Costco (online, free shipping, too) for around $8 as part of their Black Friday deal a few years back. As long as you don't mind kid colors rather than gray/black...

    I have Harbor freight mats also. I just hosed them off and reconfigured them the other day. They make a huge difference on your feet and are easy enough to vacuum. I don't find saw dust to get into the grooves where they interlock either. For the price it would be worth checking out.

    This site below has a lot of different rubber products in rolls and tiles and they will ship you free samples. Price wise it looks like many of them would suite your needs.

    I noticed at Ollie's today that they have "deck tiles" for $6.99 / 18" X 18" tile. These are 1" thick, hard rubber and do not interlock but they fit together with overlap. I confess I don't know how Ollie's works, whether the products and deals are only local or not.

    I picked up 40 2'*2' interlocking tiles today at Sam's Club for a friend's son's playroom. We'll see how they hold up. They are 1/2" thick foam. About 70 cents sq/foot and they come with the edge pieces (not tapered). Walmart seems to sell the same thing, for twice as much money.
