i went into a local store this morning to buy some metal paint . two different size tins but each marked 750mls . the bigger tin has a red band around the top saying 33% free. the one that has 750mls was priced £14 .95 but the one saying 33% free was £17.95, that too was contents 750mls + extra.

Because the list price of 750ml is £17
the smaller tin ,with non free has been discounted

The £17.95 one is still £0.002 cheaper per ml.


Coincidentally, that is about the value per ml of Hammerite

Aldi regularily have 1 lt tins of Metal Paint in white,black, grey or green.
This is the same as and as good as Hammerite and less than half the prices mentioned.
I've used it for years and can vouch for it's effectivness when either brushed,rolled or sprayed.
It appears about four times a year in their stores and I usually have a couple of each colour for vehicles and garden.
Worth watching for .

Lidl do similar to the Aldi offering too also a 1 Liter tin 
they also sell aerosol cans of primer, metal protection paint (like Hammerite spray ) ,lacquer, zink/galv etc  etc  about £3 a tin
i stock up when it's in store and use it on the fleet at pre MOT check

I recently purchased a £8 set of chrome vanadium sockets which are 6 point and include 3 extensions 
Aldi recently sold a 1/2" torque wrench £17 clicky
obviously i picked these items up while shopping for the oldies/shielding members of the family

Slightly off topic, but Poundland sell £1 rattle cans of paint in their "Auto Extreme " range
The "Black Matt" is quite a nice satin black  not a huge amount of paint @ 250 ml
Ideal for small jobs, one can was enough  to do the wiper arms on my winter project.
Check the expiry dates on the bottom of the can, the 5 cans I bought are dated 7 /2022
