Nice little price hike just before black Friday so they can be ‘discounted’ to their normal price.
Gotta love that Black Friday “sale”
So you can get a good deal if you are willing to settle for a bottom of the barrel tree and enjoy it for only the week of Christmas? Now that I think about it that actually sounds like a terrible deal.
In Canada, you can pay the government like 10 bucks and go out to a Crownland forest and cut down any Christmas tree up to 3m tall and take it home.
I remember when a tree was $40. I eventually bought a very nice LED pre-lit artificial tree. I thought it would take me years and years to break even but looking at these average prices, I may have already done so.
No needles everywhere, no fire risk, no time spent struggling with lights on Christmas day, just pop it out of the attic and go. It’s great!
However, I do really miss the smell of a christmas tree. I’ve tried the artificial christmas tree smell sticks, but they aggravate my wife’s asthma.
My buddy inherited about 70 acres that was lousy with Douglas Fir trees he needed thinned out and partially cleared for fire prevention and agriculture purposes.
I told him to charge people $50 per tree at Christmas to come cut their own.
He really pissed off the local tree people by upsetting the market and didn’t really get the job done, but it was a hilarious couple of weeks watching people pay him to do what he was going to pay someone else to do.
