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??
