cheapest place to purchase Dulux paint

Hi there,

Can anyone recommend where the cheapest place to buy Dulux paint is?

I am particularly interested in the magic white paint that fades from pink when it dries.

Thanks in advance

    i've used this before as a customer had supplied it and surprisingly it's quite good, couldn't believe that it would work but it did. lol.

    As for cheapest........... use your tesco clubcards vouchers to get it cheaper.

    Didn't like this paint, I can still see 'pink' in the corners of my ceiling! Wouldn't buy it again.

    Many thanks for the replies.

    As per your suggestions, I managed to find the paint I wanted in Tesco Extra.

    Especially pleased, as not only at full price was it cheaper than B&Q & Homebase, all DIY goods had an extra 25% off. Bargain!!!

    Worth considering if anyone else is doing some decorating this bank holiday weekend.

    Cheers

    If you have an ICI factory near you (like we do in Slough) you can occassionally pop into the Factory shop and buy Dulux paint at a fraction of the price....it gets even cheaper if the tin is damaged.

    Worth bearing in mind next time you are in lovely Slough!! ;-)

    Yes, mostly bank holiday weekends - so it is on Friday and Saturday (NOT Sunday) this coming weekend 29th and 30th April.
    When life hands you a lemon, make sure you ask for tequilla and salt ;)

    Also if you check out the Dulux site you can get £1off tins of 2.5ltr paint. I saw this posted in the freebie forum.
