paint clearance - wickes 75% off

jema_2

not well displayed or promoted in the store atall,
just scattered about in all the own brand paint, small red notices saying paint clearance, hunt the shelf edges, the reduced paint is 75% off, I've just picked up from Fareham,
naturals range satinwood 750ml £1.20ish
normal range q. dry gloss 750 ml £1.27, magnolia, whites, pale neutrals,
also 1.5l tins £2.40,
there were also reductions in all other types of paint - emulsion etc
just make sure you check the paint colour against the low priced tickets, the gremlins have been mixing them all up, I found half my haul mixed up in full priced paint,
happy hunting

I bought a huge 10 litre tub of Wickes coloured emulsion years ago and it was the cheapest coloured emulsion around at the time at less the a tenner and it still looks good 6 years later and the paint's kept well in the tub.

Its very similar in the Hove store (near Brighton) .. their 'masters' range had been reduced by 75 percent meaning a tin of 2.5l emultion was around the 2.50 mark!

I did notice that it was mainly silk finish that was reduced and the matt equivalants were still just over a tenner.

its important to note that these reduced tins are to be discontinued so buy an extra tin for touch ups!
