Hit $1,200 in saved paint costs this year by mixing my own colors

I've been doing my own paint matching for like 8 months now after getting tired of spending $45 a gallon at the hardware store. Last week I went through my receipts and added up what I would have paid versus what I spent on tint and base. Came out to $1,200 saved and that shocked me since I only do small rooms and furniture flips. Has anyone else tried mixing their own colors and actually tracked the savings?

Did you factor in the cost of your time mixing them?

Used to scoff at the idea but you're totally right, I never factored that in.
