Has anyone ever used to peel and stick tiles of vinyl?

I just bought my first home and Im a little strapped for cash, but I can’t stand the awful 70’s flooring in the kitchen and foyer. They have some great choices at Lowes, but I’m a novice DIY’er and I need to know if they are practical and easy to install.

My husband and I set them down in our kitchen when we first bought our house. Make sure that when you are ready to set them down you set the tiles straight because it is real hard to pick up after setting. First remove the old tile if it is already lifting or cracking from the floor. Clean the floor real good so when you lay down the new tile it adheres real tight. When you start out though, you have to find the center of your floor, square it of with the chalk lines and start setting the tile from the middle out so when you have to make cuts they end up by the walls so noone can see them. The cut ones usually end up under the baseboards. They do last a long time (15 years) because we just redid our kitchen. GOOD LUCK!!!
