Looks like Lowe’s is giving $5 rebates on gallons and $20 rebates on buckets of American Tradition paint. It’s a good paint, and paint doesn’t really go on sale much, so there it is. I’m off to buy a few gallons now.

I saw the same deal at Home Depot on Behr paint at lunchtime.
Sherwin Williams has a better deal going on this weekend: 25% off of retail prices for paints and stains. I attached a copy of the ad from their website that was in the newspaper here the other day.
That SW deal looks good too. I wouldn't go for Behr paint though, it never works well for me, and the paint people at Home Cheapo seem even more clueless than the ones at Lowes.
How's this for a deal- I order my paint at lowes, 1 gallon satin and two of exterior flat in another color. The guy makes a little note of that, and goes away. I come back 10 minutes later, and find 3 gallons of satin. I point that out to him, and he goes away to redo it. When I come back again, I get the two paints I wanted with the rebate, plus I grabbed the two gallons of satin that I didn't want, $7 a gallon. I figure I can use them on the garage or something, it's good paint and the right color.zak

my painter works pt at HD for the benefits.
he's actually a knowledgable guy behind the paint counter.
when we bought our house ... we repainted the whole interior with Behr.
works pretty good ... but I guess that was longer ago than I thot ...
as he won't use Behr, himself.
said they changed the formula for the worse a coupla years back.
he'll sell it if U insist ... but he won't buy it.

I used Behr paint on a hallway ceiling a fw months ago. DW bought it,,,ugh.
Was "totally" blowing my mind..the crap was dripping off my roller literally like water. It was a ceiling white(ish). What crap!!
I think that was the worst white paint I ever used in my life.The colored paint was thicker but if you can't get white right......
Back to BM at $32 a gallon. Usually get what you pay for I spose'.If Blodgett says, Tipi tipi tipi it must be so!
