Thrifty Tip Tuesday!
Today I stopped by my local PPG - Glidden Paint Store and
made an amazing discovery - drastically reduced paint!
Called mis-tints, these quarts, gallons and 5 gallon buckets are top
quality unused paint that was a shade off of the customers'
specification. Regular $40 a gallon paint can be purchased for $5:
I was amazed at the number of gallons of beige and beautiful
blues. There's a color sample on top of each container.

You might ask, "What if I need more than one gallon of beige?"
There were several cans and buckets of the same mis-tint.
The next time you're paint shopping consider the
drastic savings on an Oops can!
The second Thrifty Tip I want to share with you is:
A Teflon coated paint tray!
That's right - no need for a tray liner.
Simply let the paint dry then peal it off. Brilliant!
Priced at under $7, the ingenious tray can save you
a lot of money on those flimsy plastic tray liners.
Wish I had invented that!
Such great ideas.
ReplyDeleteI think blue is one of the hardest colors to get right.
