Christamas trees - any ideas? (real ones)

Hi

I'm on a very tight budget this xmas and I want to find a xmas tree bargain...I would be gutted to have to give in and get an artificial one this year :(

Can anyone help me find a non drop 5-6ft bargain (under £30) in the north hampshire area please...happy to collect if not too far away (30m max).

Much appreciated

Thanks :rolleyes:

  • I got a 5 foot non-drop tree from Homebase for £14.99 (less the vat reduction).

    They have two sizes, 4-5 foot at £14.99 and 5.6 foot at £24.99.

    If I'm honest, my tree is probably closer to 5.5'.

    Hope that helps :D

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].

    We have a forest near us that you book a slot and you help clear some ground or help in some general forestry clearing up . You are then able to dig a Christmas tree up for free. I am sorry that I cannot give you the name of this but I was only told about this yesterday and I havn't got the contact name. I wonder if the forrestry commision could help or you could try googling.
