kayray Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Any suggestions as to the best place to get a tree? We just need a 7.5 foot pre-lit tree that doesn't look too skimpy. Last year I checked on Black Friday and after Christmas and didn't find what I was looking for. The ones on sale on BF tended to be at the lower price point and just not as full as I would like. After Christmas I just didn't find anything. TIA for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanyon71 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 There is a place in MI called Bronners they have hundreds of trees. It's a huge store but they also have an online presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid that their trees are a bit on the pricey side though. I had planned on taking a trip up there so it is worth a look, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magickallight Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I don't know if you have an Old Time Pottery in your area, but I have found Excellent prices on beautiful trees there - especially during their Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales.

ISU ME Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I got mine 2 years ago at Hobby Lobby and I think its perfect. I looked everywhere for a decent looking one with multi-colored lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their ad shows them on sale 40% off in-store only, wish I could at least see description on the website. I have never been, but this may be a good excuse to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time we make it up to visit Bronners and Frankenmuth are somewhere we HAVE to visit. I could go broke in Bronners lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilimak Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 We got a great looking tree on Black Friday 3 years ago at Home Depot for a great price. I think we paid $50. for it. I can't remember what it was originally, but I know it was a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFQueenofNY Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 About 5 years ago I got a great deal off ebay. Just this past year some of the lights blew out and I was able to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peppysfireball Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I got mine at Kmart after xmas . it was a Martha Stewart tree and 75% off. It was a 300 tree for 75. I love it. It is very full and beautiful. It is on a rotating stand but I can't use that feature due to it being a tight fit in my living room. My eyes were bigger than they should have been. It is a 7.5 foot tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtodemons Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I too need a new tree this year and have had this one in my amazon cart for a few weeks - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045W6UCG/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER - which is currently $249.99. Per camelcamelcamel, the price went down as low as 159.20 on 11/26/12, so I hope the same happens this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
