B&Q Paint - two pots of 2.5 ltr for 20 quid online then collect in store

B&Q - if you go there and purchase a 2.5 ltr pot of Dulux paint, it can cost up to 25 pounds. However, if you go to their website, you can buy 2 pots of 2.5 litre paint for 20 quid. This is great if you are thinking of decorating.

I reserved some paint for my mother in law for her to collect instore, and sure enough, she got 2 pots for 20 quid! It has not been advertised anywhere.

    Perhaps it is to match offers from homebase. They are selling a 5L for the price of a 2.5L at the moment but i didn't see an equivalent offer for 2 2.5L cans.

    They also have a 20% offer off everything this weekend but you need to register online and pick up a barcode through your email first.

    I am unclear what the difference is. 5 litres and 2 x 2½ litres are both 5 litres. Its the same volume so why should there be an equivalent offer unless you mean 50% off the price of a 2½ litre pot which would then not be an equivalent offer on a price vs volume basis.

    Exactly. I wanted 2 x 2.5L of different colours and didn't get the discount for that.

    Which is outside the scope of the 5 litre offer perhaps? But the two x 2.5 for 20 quid is still running. Two different offers being discussed here

  • If you go to b&q website they will give you all the paint that is on offer and there is a huge choice. MIL bought matt paint and there is a range for kitchen and bathroom paints.

    Yes thanks - now I've looked I've found it. Katejo is mixing up two different offers I think.
