Paint
Mis-mixed and mix-matched cans of paint can be had for free at the Marin Recycling Center - Hazardous Waste Disposal facility. They accept leftover paint in their reuse area then offer to the public for free. It is a hit or miss to get the right kind and color of paint. Today I lucked out and got a full can of exterior paint (off-white) that I used for the primer coat of paint for the perimeter fencing.
