This is a wholehearted endorsement for the new Behr Paint & Primer in One. It is fully worth the $33 a gallon! And this is coming from a person who lives in a hundred some year old house with a thousand years of layers of paint with questionable content (oil? lead?) on crookedy ass plaster walls covered with cracks and dents and dimples. It even went over the oil paint on the baseboards! Did I mention that the people we bought the house from had questionable taste and my baseboards & windows were bright, bright orange? Wow!
Low odor (except when you were like right up at the top of the room) and good coverage. We did a deep red - Moroccan Red - which would normally need 3 or 4 coats to look good, looks great with two coats! Wow! The lighter color we did (a creamy color) was one coat & done. Very little touch up needed.
So, I know it's not super green, but I just wanted to post and tell everyone about my good experience and give it a big thumbs up if you were considering it but the cost was holding you back.
It is worth every single penny, IMO.

If it doesn't come off with a magic eraser (I didn't ever want to try them or see what made them so magical, but for cleaning walls, I would never use anything else! The grease & stuff just peeled right off!) then I'd prime it with a stain blocker. You can get a little quart. I got a quart to cover a water spot on the ceiling, but I bought a cheap can of Glidden stain blocker from Ollie's for $3.50. It worked pretty good. We did two coats.
