Affordable emulsion paint with good coverage

Can you recommend affordable interior paint brands that give a decent amount of coverage for the tin volume? I've bought cheap paint before and ended up needing extra tins. What's good for a quick, budget makeover?

"Dulux paints are 1 of the best paints. It had to be bought from the dulux trade shops. ( Google your nearest shop). The dulux paint from DIY shops (eg B& Q) are not as good a quality. At the end of the day you get what you pay for."
