If you have trouble with top and bottom edges sticking together with latex paint give them a rub with some bees wax, problem solved no need to use oil based paint on the edges if you don't want to.

I get my paint from the local county transfer stations.  Most have a hazardous materials drop-off area.  Citizens bring paint and other materials they should not throw out in the regular trash.  There is usually a wide variety of colors, although not a large amount of exterior latex paint but I have been lucky a few times and scored 1 & 5 gal buckets of good paint.  Best of all its free and works just fine.
