I bought a gallon of gesso for $28 (tax incl) with a 50% off coupon from here :D The expiry date was a day after the one that I later found on the official website, and the barcode was different, but.. it still worked :c
Long blah blah blah story:
Such a convenient time for the coupon to show up. I have to make a bajillion big canvases this year :c
Last Wed., I went with my mumsy to Michael’s to pick up some watercolour pencils (I hate these >:0 I got impatient and just used watercolour paints), and stumbled on the 1 gallon tub. It was $49.99 though, which hurt my eyes and purse. Thought I’d go home and check if I still had much of my 1L Gesso at home first, and come back if I needed.
So I picked up the cheapest set of w/c pencils I could, as well as a pad of watercolour paper that was on sale for half off. Went to the check out, and the lady in front of me turned and asked my mom and I if we had any regular priced items. She ended up giving me a 50% off coupon after I realized my pencils were not on sale (good thing.. those darn pencils >:0 ).
I thought back to the gesso and figured.. if it’s just online and I can just print the coupon… the rest is self-explanatory.
