    Thanks diy fairy, wonderful spot! although i havent gone to my local focus and picked up the free paint (- hope it will be that simple! ) i thought i would mention this magazine is also sold in boots, so if you have lots of points to spend you could get it with your points instead of buying with cash!

  • Beware - you get what you pay for. Moneysaving is often a short term effect i.e. in this case you will probably have to re-do the painting sooner that if you bought a quality paint and thats not to mention the extra time in applying the cheap paint or the quality of it once its dried.

    I think I'll stick to the quality brand, pay up in the short term but reap the long term cost savings and knowing it will look better ;)

    true, but some people decorate every year, or couple of years. so paint like this is perfect! some people don't want their paint lasting for decades! ;)

  • Just got my 4 tins of paint from Walsall branch was told by assistant that she couldn't take all four vouchers but when I said ok I'll take the one for now and be right back once I've took the paint to the car she said ok and took all four.Think I might paint all the rooms in the house at this price.
