Frugalista Find: 'Oops Paint'

OK-
This is nothing earth-shattering.
I've heard this tip before.
But I always dismissed it...
Like a fool.

I have been painting my sewing table 'mint shake' (from the free paint I got during the Glidden giveaway)....and I hate it.
Mr. Free and I were at Lowe's and I decided to look through the Oops paint.
This is paint that either was mis-tinted, the wrong size or returned.
Holy cow! There are some great paint options there!

And at such a discount!

I decided to get a quart of 'Beach House' by Valspar.



The grand total? $3
Retail price? $13.98


Nice.

They had some great colors...mainly grays, whites and beigies. But a few fun colors too!

Quarts ran $3, Gallons $5 and 5 gallon bucks $25.
They had interior and exterior in a variety of finishes.

So...if you're more right-brained, like me, check the 'oops' paint first for your next project!
You just might find an awesome shade you wouldn't normally try!

And save a ton of money in the process!!!

I'm hoping to update the basement transformation this weekend. I've been using my discounted paint well!

Do you have any frugalista home improvement tips??
