Buy Oops Paint For a Discount

When going to repaint a room, go to the oops pile at most home improvement stores. These are paints that were mixed but didn't sell. You can get these for cheaper prices.

"Oops Paint"

"Oops Paint" is what the home improvement stores call the paints that were tinted incorrectly and the original purchaser was unhappy with the color. You can generally get a gallon for anywhere from $3-5. Check in the clearance area or ask at the paint counter.

If you have a large room and will need more than one gallon, find the same type of paint and finish in a similar color and mix the two together for a consistent color on the walls.
