Disney and Tate Paint reduced @ B&Q (merged threads)

Sorry if it's already been mentioned. B&Q are clearing a few paint lines. If you are thinking of doing up the kids rooms 750 ml tins of Disney Gloss have been reduced from £8.89 to £2.16. When I got to the till it scanned through at £1.05.

No idea if it's national or local, presumably it's whatever each store has left.

    B&Q Tate (£5 for 2.5 L), New England (£5 for 2.5L) and a very posh range (name escapes me) are also reduced to half price, B&Q Outside (5L for £7.99), United Colours Of Benneton also discontinued at various prices in my local........but yip the Disney range is a mega bargain....most of the colours are from the Crown collection and just renamed & rebranded Disney............
    light green mid sheen Crown emulsion £14.99
    "hide & seek" mid sheen emulsion Disney £4.99

    so hide and seek was 2/3rds less but exactly the colour I wanted
    If I helped or saved you money - Thank me
    If I helped you spend some money - spank me
    If I done both - :lipsrseal me:eek:
    :D

    they had the B & Q Tate paint reduced a lot in my local one last week but I didn't see any of the others you mention. Should I go back and have a look this week or do you think this is a regional store by store reduction depending on what they have left to get rid of?

    I got some of the B&Q Tate paint at the weekend - much reduced although not a huge range of colours left, and some of those were decidedly a matter of (strange) taste :eek:

    Fortunately they had some less garish colours too so I was able to get something :)

    Inspired by the four Tate Galleries - Britain, Modern, Liverpool and St Ives, this paint range is split into four inspiring palettes ranging from the gloriously glamorous 'Decadent', brilliant for any modern boudoir to the more subtle but incredibly stylish 'Sea Mist', perfect for creating a calming atmosphere in the busiest of households.

    Was £16.00 a tin now £5.00

    Purchased yesterday at B&Q Trafford Park. Looked superb after one coat.
