My SIL had a pre-lit one, and like half the lights went out the second year. I prefer to string my own lights on anyway...makes it feel less fake to me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935708 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 07:58:38 +0000 ILoveLettie 1935708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was in the less than $100 range because we got it at the after-Christmas sales. It was probably right around $99.99, so a little more after tax, and we would have gotten a cheaper one (it was a 9 foot pre-lit really nice one at Lowes) but it was already one of the only ones left!! My parents got my husband (then fiance) a Lowes giftcard for Christmas so it was just tax out of pocket, which was nice because we were pretty broke and engaged and would never have been able to afford it otherwise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935684 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 06:52:04 +0000 Radish 1935684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: not sure, but it has some good reviews (though they tend to be more about shipping). I really want a spruce tree but they are hard to find in stores. I prefer the coloring on them.</p> <p>Btw, if you did decide to go the wayfair route i have a 20% off coupon code that is good through 11/13 that I can send you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935680 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 06:44:07 +0000 dagret 1935680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think our 7' pre lit tree was $125ish on Black Friday at lowes 4 yrs ago? Still going strong. I love the pre lit tree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935640 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 00:57:01 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1935640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a sale on them at Hobby Lobby right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935629 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 00:44:17 +0000 photojane 1935629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 7.5' tree was $115 at a local home &amp; garden store.

Walmart is life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935609 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 00:00:47 +0000 fairy 1935609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually JUST bought mine from kmart and with sale + coupon + shopyourway points it was about $50 :) It just arrived in the mail today so I am going to set it up tomorrow just to make sure that it looks good, but it has good reviews. I can update tomorrow! I am really excited because this is our first full-size tree.</p> <p><a href="http://www.kmart.com/trim-a-home-6ft-boulder-mountain-christmas-tree/p-009W003406645000P" rel="nofollow">http://www.kmart.com/trim-a-home-6ft-boulder-mountain-christmas-tree/p-009W003406645000P</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935537 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 21:40:01 +0000 Mrs. D 1935537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we no longer have it, it didn't make the priority list when moving, but we actually got ours for about 15. It was bought in November when Zellers was clearing out last years display trees for huge discounts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935501 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 21:03:35 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1935501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$279 from the website Christmas Tree Market. 9' tall and pre-lit.

It was $50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935458 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 20:06:08 +0000 blackbird 1935458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought it for $50 off Craigslist! From some people down the street! 7 feet tall! Not prelit, I like to do my own lights.

Ha!<br /> @Radish: that tree is beautiful. Could it really be that full in person?? @creativemomma15: I think 3/4 of the lights in our current tree are out.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935409 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 19:15:24 +0000 jhd 1935409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent $30 last year on a prelit 4 foot tree from Target in the Black Friday sale. It's nice &amp; all I could really justify spending at the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935378 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 18:48:08 +0000 regberadaisy 1935378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs scrapbook: ours is the same! </p> <p>@pinkcupcake: I wish we cold get a real tree. :( But DH is really allergic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935376 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 18:45:10 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1935376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go ours on sale at Menard's. </p> <p>It's 9 feet and not pre lit. There are three sections of the tree, and you don't have to put the individual branches in. They fold out so you just shape them a bit :happy:</p> <p>ETA: I was adamant that we not get pre lit because my parents' pre lit lights went out and we ended up having to get a whole new tree. Also, the ones where you have to put each individual branch into the "trunk" are horrible to put together. It takes forever, and isn't worth it to me. Plus, I'd always end up with way more scratches on my arms with that kind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935370 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 18:24:33 +0000 cmomma17 1935370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For free from DH's cousin! And not pre-lit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935368 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 18:22:43 +0000 PurplePumps 1935368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm super lucky that I snagged a nice prelit 9 ft tree from Sears for 90% off after Xmas 2 years ago! I think it was $35 or $40. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935364 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 18:19:00 +0000 pinkcupcake 1935364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents have a 9 foot tall pre lit tree they bought at costco for $300. It's beautiful. Just wish it had the same pine smell as fresh trees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935340 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:47:07 +0000 ShootingStar 1935340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is 7.5 feet, maybe around $100?. We have higher ceilings now, I wonder if we should get a 9 foot one. Definitely spring for the pre-lit though, it's worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935338 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:44:35 +0000 creativemomma15 1935338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a prelit 7 ft skinny tree at JoAnn Fabrics for $75 on Black Friday. I wouldn't get a prelit one again... Half of the lights stopped working and I don't have the energy to figure out how to fix it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935332 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:40:01 +0000 regberadaisy 1935332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was the $150 range on sale at target. 6 or 7 feet? We did not want a pre lit tree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935323 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:26:53 +0000 PurplePeony 1935323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I splurged on one from Balsam Hill during one of their frequent sales, it's 6.5 ft, not pre-lit (I'm weird and like stringing lights) and I think it was about $300 sale price. I'm not totally sure it was worth the premium over Home Depot/Lowes trees but once it was up, it wasn't going back. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935316 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:15:13 +0000 alohaorchid 1935316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think ours was around $300 (pre-lit, 6.5') from Michaels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935315 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:14:18 +0000 BSB 1935315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wait til after Christmas sales to buy one if I need one. DH wants a fresh tree this year and I still want to use my $50-60 tree that I got on clearance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935306 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:07:08 +0000 Radish 1935306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a $20 small pre-lit one (but taller than me) a few years ago on sale at Walmart. I would be willing to spend $150 on a specific style new one, but I'm waiting a few more years to upgrade.</p> <p>ETA: This is the one I am tempted to buy: <a href="http://www.wayfair.com/National-Tree-Co.-North-Valley-7.5-Spruce-Artificial-Christmas-Tree-with-Clear-Lights-NRV7-300-75-NTC1480.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wayfair.com/National-Tree-Co.-North-Valley-7.5-Spruce-Artificial-Christmas-Tree-with-Clear-Lights-NRV7-300-75-NTC1480.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-spend-on-your-fake-christmas-tree#post-1935303 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:04:25 +0000 namaste 1935303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got ours from Target.
