$50 for a real christmas tree

are christmas trees getting more expensive every year or is it just me?
I thought I paid $35 last year

I saw those prices skyrocket, too...is it inflation or have we cut down so many trees that the supply is so low?

I'm Jewish but for some reason I always thought trees were way more expensive. maybe its because the fake ones can be $500+

Re: $50 for a real christmas tree

the best tree we ever got wa from one of those 'any tree $20' places. I dont see them around anymore...this was like 7 years ago.

My family got a huge tree and it was $80. RIDICULOUS!!!!

This is why FH and I use a hand-me down fake tree we got from a friend. We will have to save up for when we get a hous eand get real trees-

Re: $50 for a real christmas tree

I paid $80. I was told that prices are up to $15 per foot. FH refused to go to Home Depot to buy one, but I know they have trees for a lot less than $80.
