    they don't really do codes I'm afraid , they target their money at those discount weekends with 10- 15 % off

    Find yourself a relative, friend or neighbour who is also a pensioner, and take him/her to B&Q on a Wednesday with his/her 10% pensioners B&Q discount card.

    Go to one of their warehouse outlets where the prices are usually lower than their smaller outlets.

    unfortunatley i will have (hopefully) moved in by april 6th but i didnt think of the dulux center theres one on the industrial estate i might nip over and see if there cheaper.


    david- good thinking i might have to rope in a neighbour and try that if the dulux center idea isnt any cheaper

    Homebase are doing 15% off I think next weekend April 4th and 5th. Seen this on an advertisment that came with the free weekly newspaper.

    I know this doesn't help you at all (sorry) but i was in Homebase the other day and they had huge tins of Dulux paint reduced to £3.

    It scanned at £29.99 til i corrected her!

    The colours must be end of line though so if you find any, make sure you get enough!

    Focus DIY have a Bogof on their own brand emulsion
  • I dont know if they still do it but Focus used to do a home movers card which gave 10 % off everything you bought for 6 months. All you had to do was take in proof of moving ie solicitors/estate agents letter.

    Definately shop around - or check online first as basic decorating stuff can be cheaper at Homebase than B&Q sometimes - we got caught out a few times thinking B&Q always cheaper.

    Also, get the Homebase card as you get offers and vouchers back based on your spend so if you are spending over £100 over a year it can work out cheaper.
