If you buy a real Christmas tree

How much do you pay for one and do you cut it down yourself? We usually go to a place that you cut your own down, for $25 dollars all trees. We were going to try a new place near us, they want $60 for a tree? Is that expensive? I think it is, but that's b/c we always paid $25. Just curious to see what you pay.

#30 at Home Depot.  lol.  I remember my parents would get one already cut and it would be in the $20-40 range... when we'd go to one of those cut 'em down, ride the tractor back places it was always much more.

The local Food Lion grocery store always has awesome trees for $30 or less. And they usually have coupons.

I wouldn't pay $60 for a tree.

We have a bunch of little tree lots pop up in our downtown.  I would say the average price is $60.

It depends on where you get it and if you cut your own....and there is such a wide range of prices around here.  We are going to this place way up north that are charging $12 a tree for both precut and cut your own.  So it can be as low as $12 all the way up to $60.

I'm jealous.  We have paid close to $200 for trees down here.  I grew up in New England and couldn't face having a fake tree, but just a little 6-7' tree is almost $200 plus their mostly dead b/c they were cut back in October or something and never take any water or anything.  Depressing as it is, I got a fake tree this year.  I cried when DH put it up, but I just couldn't keep spending the money.  I wanna move...or at least have cheap trees again.

I think it really depends. We paid $40 for a precut tree this year, but it was from a "cut your own farm" that literally cuts them the day before they sell them. They last a ton longer. I'd pay $60 for one from a place like that, depending on the variety of tree. I'd never pay that much from a tree lot at Steins or something, though. Not that there is anything wrong with those trees, but they aren't nearly as fresh.

We pay $40 for a 6-7 foot noble fir at Home Depot.

We pay ~$100 for a BEAUTIFUL 9+ ft. Douglas Fir every year.

We used to pay about $20 at a cut-your-own farm for a white pine, I think.  They didn't have any of those last year (they were phasing them out), and we ended up paying $40 or $45 for a Douglas Fir.  Way more than I wanted to spend.

Here it depends on the tree.

I think last year the Douglas fir tree was maybe $20. We, instead, bought a Frasier fir tree and that was like $35. We cut it ourselves. There were other trees there that were up to $50 - 60 that you cut yourself.

We paid $60 at a cut your own farm. Our tree was 10' this year but I think it is the same price no matter how tall the tree..
