    Hi, our Tesco Extra have a range of Dulux paints currently at half price - I think they were last years colours, but I bought some and it's gorgeous (ummm, half price is about £6.50 ish)

    This coming friday and saturday is 10% off at Homebase.
    If you buy 3x Crown 2.5ltr tins this will work out at £8.99 per tin, normal price £14.99.
    Crown is also a rally good quality paint.

    If you are looking at emulsion, try to use vinyl silk. Matt paint tends to show fingerprints very easily....not good if you have kids. Vinyl silk, you can wipe with a cloth to get marks off....save you painting again :money:
