Depending on how much you need and if you're not picky, check out the Building Materials Outlet in Eagan. I've always gone to The Tile Shop. It's not discounted but their quality is awesome and it's not overpriced. Even if you do get your tile from the BMO, I recommend getting the mortar and stuff from The Tile Shop. It will make the project a TON better than the stuff from the hardware store (from your local insane DYI-er Smile

).

I was also going to recomment BMO in Eagan. Options are limited but you'll get a good deal!

I haven't looked at BMO.

We just ordered bathroom tile from The Tile Shop. The selection at The Tile Shop was huge compared to Menard's and Home Depot. We're working with a contractor recommended by The Tile Shop, so we're getting a 25% discount on the tile, bringing the price lower than Home Depot or Menard's.

Depending on what you want, the selection of natural stone tile (marble, travertine, etc.) is very limited at Home Depot and Menard's. If you just want ceramic or porcelain tile, you might find what you want at HD/Menard's because they carry more of the lower-cost options and less of the higher-cost options.

Also, the customer service we've received at The Tile Shop has been great. Their staff is so much more knowledgeable than at the "big box" stores.

We got our tile (a natural earth slate) at The Tile Shop. I remember falling in love with it then learning the price. We just couldn't justify it at ALL so the sales person asked what we could afford. I can't remember now but I think the majority of tiles were in the 2-3 range and ours was like 4.50 or 5? So they gave us the lower range and we got it. Crazy!
