    These will be our spares next year lol.

    We already had a nice little genuine Normandy fir all decked out but I gave that to my pa last week as we were supposed to be going away for Xmas...

    Until British Airways sent us home from the airport lol

    No tree, might still not get away on rebooked flight this Friday, we needed a few decos just in case!

    Fingers crossed, wish us luck for Friday

    Thanks! There are hidden benefits...such as we're busy writing a big food shopping list for my bro in law abroad for all the Xmas food, might get spared that chore ;-)

    D4mn, I'd like one of these trees at £3, but it's a 40 mile round trip to the shop just to see if they have them :(

    It seems you'd also need to phone ahead and ask the staff to scan it for you and confirm the £3, price tag may not yet say £3, also some have said not £3 in their store.

    Probably price tag doesn't say £3 anywhere yet as they wouldn't last long on shelf.

    However see the HUKD thread, plenty of others are finding them at £3.

    Hard to believe anybody would be happy paying more than £50 for these, undiscounted, got to be said.
  • Got one of these for £3 today at Bishop Auckland. They were priced up as £139 then had stickers for £69.99, £49.99, £24.99 then finally £3.

    There were 3 left stacked up by the entrance. They also lots of the 6ft pre lit tree for £3 but it looked poor compared to this one.
    Am i here to save money or spend money......hmmmmm
  • Thanks for ther info, just got a 6ft vienna for £3!! only 2 left in Honiton.
