Thrifty paint sale if you work it
Ok, so what did you do for the 4th? I saved $300 on paint. I went back and figured it up. My DH likes a particular brand of paint. We are planning on painting all 3 bedrooms this weekend and needed to buy the paint. We bought the paint this weekend but had to work the system.
The deal was that you could go to the store and get 1 item at 50% off. One coupon, per person, per item, per day. The sale only lasted 2 days. So I took my finally back from camp, whom my DD asked for every day she was gone, babysitter, MM, and we went to 2 of the hardware stores and got a 5 gallon bucket of primer and 3 gallons of paint. I should have looked at the fine print because I lost $65.60 by doing that. The deal was that you got 50% off up to $25 on any one item so I would have been better off getting it by the gallon. But none the lest, I recruited friends to help us buy the rest yesterday and got a total of $300 off my paint. I was so excited. For a minute there I was wondering if it was worth the gas to go to the multiple stores in town but when looking at the savings, I was pleased with the outcome. I ended up with 22 gallons of paint and primer. Now all we have to do is get it up on the walls.
Just thought I would let you in on a great bargain. Now we can paint with just a little less guilt.

I want to paint the bedrooms, but the guy that did our remodeling did a horrible job. Hubby has to sand and repair some of the work, plus chalk, before we can paint. Errrrr! Alligator wants her room purple so badly. We even have the paint.
I hear that Home Depot is having a good sale on their Behr paint. Plus, there is a Home Depot coupon in our Entertainment book. This may be the time to purchase the paint we need.
Be sure to keep the rooms ventilated, especially since you’re pregnant. Good luck!
