Great deal! I don't know if you have a Sherwin Williams in your area, but they sell their Oops gallons for $1.00 each, and their 5-gallon buckets for $5.00 (obviously). I repainted the entire downstairs of my house for less than $10, and the clerk told me the type of paint I got for that price cost over $500 when originally mixed (that morning).
Lowes and Home Depot also sell their oops paint for similar prices. Not as cheap as Sherwin Williams, but it does give you more options. I was making a kiddie kitchen a few months back and needed pink paint. Between Home Depot and Lowes I had found two shades to choose from.
I look forward to painting my home with oops paint because I have a hard time making choices with 1,000's to choose from. So, I will scope out the oops paint and the first one I like will win.
I prefer buying paint at Habitat because you have MUCH more selection than a single Home Depot store. Our Habitat store has hundreds of quarts in stock right now (hence the sale price) from brands like Martin Senour, Benjamin Moore, etc.
I will have to find the nearest Sherwin Williams, though : )
I've also found that Home Depot was willing to add pigment to their oops paints for free if one wanted something a little different from the current shade. A friend and I went looking for pink for her daughter's room, and they altered a slightly peachy shade to be more pink. It turned out great!

My Sherwin Williams was $5/1 gallon and $25 for 5 gallons last time I went, but it was at least a year ago.

I am glad to be reminded of this--we are about to do a little pre-sale painting in our house!

Gallons for $1 would be an amazing deal!

How cool! I might check them out next time we go to Nashville!
Thanks for the tip, they have a homestore in my neck of the woods too!

I found a nice warm brown shade for my bedroom. Let's hope it works out. If not, I'm only out 5$'s! Thanks for the tip!
