Cheapest emulsion?

I need to give my garage interior a quick once over, any idea who does the cheapest bucket of emulsion please?

Cheers

  • All the DIY stores sell 'value' tubs of emulsion in white and magnolia. Not sure how much it is but works out really cheap. Although may be false economy if you need to put more than one coat on due to it being so thin!

    For generic DIY stuff I tend to use Wickes - you can check the prices on their website.

    Don't use cheap paint, it's a false economy!!
