Where to buy christmas tree?

Hi,

OH threw out our christmas tree last year after the Christmas festivities. Said it had seen better days. Where can I get a fake plastic tree about 6ft tall at a reasonable price?

Thanks.

    Hello kawan2

    As we have a new 'Christmas & Winter Festivities' board, I'll move your thread across.

    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].

    Regards

    If you don't want anything specific keep an eye open in Charity shops, or maybe pop and advert on Freecycle, I managed to get a new one still in it's box from a charity shop one year for £3
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Thanks for all the replies. Will pop in to Wilkos probably this weekend and the charity shops that are just a few doors away and see what they have got.

    Cheers.
  • I bought a gorgeous tree from Woolworths 3 years ago. Its the nicest tree I've seen, it looks just like the picture when set up, very bushy and lifelike. Its also very sturdy and I imagine I will have it for a long time to come.

    I think at less than £40 its a bargain BUT I noticed that woolies had them half price last year which is exceptional value!

    I'll get mine from B&Q as I can also get 20% off as my dad works there :D (more money saving for me) Dunno if it will be fiber optic I got for but it wont matter still get it at a decent price :)
  • I have always loved chritmas and was so proud of my christmas tree - really bushy and lifelike decorated to perfection.....then last year I looked at it in the corner and thought "how Bizarre ...I have a tree in my lounge!" the more I looked at it ..the weirder it seemed! I am wondering if I will bother this year which makes me feel a bit sad as I have always loved doing the tree! Does anyone else think it is a bit odd having a tree indoors!!:confused: ..or am I just going a bit loopy?
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)

    Your just going loopy :P

    Nah sometimes i feel like that, maybe just do something different to it, Now I dont know what but still its an idea.
  • If you can be patient then you get some fantastic bargains the week before Christmas. We got a beautiful tree from B+Q 2 years ago reduced down from £100 to £50. Everyhting they had from most expensive to cheapest trees - artificial and real - were all reduced down by 50% and lots of other shops and supermarkets do this too so it might be worth holding off!
