crhoward Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Our current pre-lit tree is half burnt out:no: . Looking at last year's ads from Target, Walmart, and Sears there weren't a lot of deals on trees. Most of them were in the $70 to $130 range. I'm not looking to be Martha Stewart or anything, but I would like a nice, compact 6.5 to 7 ft pre-lit tree for less than $70. Maybe I'll get lucky at Big Lots. I tried to nab one during the after Christmas sales, but no such luck. Aren't there any other cheapskate Christmas decorators out there?!
love2beurwifey Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I brought a really nice Pre Lit Fiber Optic tree last year that was 7 1/2 feet for 30.00 I got it for 90% off.
codeblue Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Maybe try Michaels they may have them on a good sale for BF.
d56nut Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Last year on December 23rd, Amazon had a 7 1/2 foot Thomas Pacconi (sp?) pre lit tree for 39.99. It has 1200 lights on it. It's just beautiful. Half the lights are white and half are color. It has a remote control and you can decide if you want all the lights on, just the white, or just the color. I signed up for the Amazon Prime and they delivered it on the 26th! No problem, it's for this year! I know this doesn't help you much for this year but I just had to rave about this tree. Easy set up and beautiful. I think the original cost was over 200.00. I checked the website and it's currently not available but maybe they'll get more in stock. The first two reviews on the site are bad but keep reading....the rest are great! I have this tree and it's wonderful. Hopefully this will work.

NeepNeep Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 We got ours in 2002 at K-Mart. It's a 7 ft, multi-color lights with rotating stand. Picked it up on sale, after BF, for about $60. Nice tree.
jellybean051901 Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 If there is one near you, try flower factory
kmbrly Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 After Christmas is the best deals. I know that isn't going to help you for this Christmas. I got a 6 ft, multi colored pre lit for $14.
crhoward Posted September 21, 2006 Author Posted September 21, 2006 Thanks guys! I knew you'd understand. It looks like the best deals are on Christmas Eve, or early after Christmas sales. Perhaps I can just throw some extra lights on my half-lit tree and use it one more time for this Christmas. Lord knows I bought enough extra light sets during last year's clearance sales.
bugsette Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 thank you for bringing up the flower factory I have been meaning to go there
Gator Pam Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I got a 6' multi-color prelit at CVS after Chr-stmas for $9.00.
AuntJamelle Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I don't know if you have a Menards anywhere near you - but as I wandered through their unopened boxes of Christmas merchandies earlier this week I noticed that pretty much ALL of their trees this year are pre-lit. Menards will usually offer sales - even during the holiday season - but I agree with other posters on the best deals being found right after Christmas is over. Good luck!
