NBR: Those who bought their Christmas tree, or shopped around

Do you find the trees are cheaper at Walmart/Target type stores, or tree nurseries? 

Thanks!

    I am not sure about nurseries. We have been buying our trees from Lowes for the past several years. We got a beautiful 7 foot frasier fur and it was 23$. Which is pretty dang good to me! GL!

    I bought ours on sale yesterday at Target.  Sounds like Lowes was a better price, but we got a 7 foot something for $40.

    Are you looking for a real tree or artificial? We get a real tree every year from a Christmas tree farm. His trees range from $20-30. We usually get a blue spruce which are $30. I like going & cutting ours down because then we know it's fresh. When you buy from other places who ship them in, you have no idea when the tree was cut down. I mean they call them "fresh cut" but are they really?

    Oh yeah, fresh tree.  I just never cared about the price before this year... haven't had a tree for a few years now due to infants/travel, etc.

    This. We got a tree from Walmart last year.. we got it December 10th or so, and it was so dry and dead(and a fire hazard!) by Christmas that we thought about taking it down. We got one fresh cut(we cut it) from a tree farm this year for $25 which is less than the $35 we payed at Walmart.

    Just to give you a price comparison:  We got a 6-7ft Noble Fir from Home Depot for $39.  It's a beautiful tree - I had never seen Noble Firs before - it looks like a much fuller/fatter version of a Fraiser Fir - same branch type as a Fraiser.
     
    We didn't pay anything out of pocket tho.  We had a Lowes coupon for $10 off any order (HD takes Lowes coupons) and some old gift cards.  Otherwise we wouldn't have gone for such an expensive tree, either.
     
    ETA:  I would love to go to a tree farm and cut down our own and get a fresher tree that will last longer but the farms are just not close enough for us and with DH's work schedule it just doesn't work for us.  Home Depot is five minutes away - we went and got the tree and had it up in our living room in under and hour.  Would have been an all day event had we gone to the farm (which isn't a BAD thing.. just not worth it with a toddler right now).

    I'm so insanely jealous of those prices!  We just got our tree today.  $70.  Typical in Chicago.
