    Does anyone know if the get 2 free limit is per person or household?

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Hi Sadie! I just spoke with Ace Hardware customer service and they let me know that each store might honor that limit differently and to call your local store to be sure. I then called my store and they said they would honor it as one per person. Hope that helps!

      • Sadie

        Thanks for calling around for the information. I will check with my local store to see what they say. Hopefully 2 per person. Thanks again!

        • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

          You’re welcome! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Glad to help!

    Perfect timing, as ever, ladies! Weโ€™re renovating after Hurricane Harvey & were buying paint this month anyway.

    Some stores don’t make you stick to the limit so you might be able to get more. If they stick to it- I doubt they will turn you down if you go the next day. My husband is the manager at our small town Ace and said they don’t impose a limit. He also suggested the Clark + Kensington brand the most (cost is in the middle of the brands- and coverage is great apparently).

    • Kim

      I know somebody who bought the Clark and Kensington and was disgusted with it. She fully loves painting and has tried all brands. C&K was by far the worst. Walmart brand even coats better

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this deal. I have been waiting for it as we are ready to paint our main living area over spring break. We always by the Kensington Pain with Primer and it is excellent paint ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Jennifer (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Yay! What colors did you pick?

      • Mama6

        I love Song Of Summer. We painted our living area on the main floor this color several years ago. We are using it again ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. Acecounterman

    We are excited about this event. Hope to see you soon.

    • Heather

      Are you guys able to color match any sample that I bring in, even if it’s from a different paint company?

  6. I don't shop @ Walmart

    Clark + Kensington paint is one of recommended paints by Consumer Report Magazine.

    • Heather

      That’s good to know!! I trust Consumer Reports tests and findings. ๐Ÿค— All of the other “hype” is paid for advertising.

  7. Heather

    I didn’t happen to notice how long the sale is going on. Can someone help me out with that? I’m praying that it’s still going on until I get paid – I’ve got paint on the brain and a “Honey-Do List” that’s a mile long ๐Ÿ˜‰

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Hi Heather! This sale is valid through March 26th ๐Ÿ™‚

      • Heather

        Thanks so much!!

  8. Deanna

    The Ace hardware in my town is not doing the “buy one get one ” Paint sale and say they don’t know anything about it. Can they do that or is it possible they don’t know about it? I’m not happy!!

    • Holly (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Bummer! I’m so sorry your store is not participating. ๐Ÿ™

  9. Savannah jones

    Does this sale include valspar ceiling and/or Clark and Kensington ceiling paint?

    • Savannah Jones

      I guess not with no reply ๐Ÿ™

      • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

        Bummer! Looks like this sale has ended. You can always call in to your local store for details on the exact items they may include for this promotion. Hoping it pops up again soon!

  10. Judith

    I heard about the paint sale while glancing at tv. Will this be repeated anytime soon? I REALLY hate I missed it!!!!

    • Holly (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Aww, I’m so sorry you missed this one! We sure will keep an eye out for it to happen again.
