We did have to carry it a few blocks to the subway and take a 30m ride home but for those savings it was worth it.

We paid $60 for a blue spruce yesterday. (I can never find those.) A bit shorter than normal, 6ft, but because it is a bit smaller we can put it in -- (edited) - Andie Dec 3, 05:47 5
- Have you ever thought about giving your spruce a cup of cocoa and telling it some jokes so it isn't so blue? - crash davis 😺 Dec 3, 09:23
- Those are beautiful trees! I don't often seen them for sale here. I'm glad you got a tree you love! -- nm - Krusty Dec 3, 05:54 3
  - Yeah, they are rare here too, as Christmas trees. -- nm* - Andie Dec 3, 05:57 2

  - I keep saying to myself that this is the year we’ll get a real tree, and it never happens. - znufrii Dec 3, 05:07 1
    - Artificial is easier and less messy. Maybe next year for you. :-) -- nm* - Krusty Dec 3, 05:45
- The priciest at my store is $250 for what seems to be a 9 or 10 footer. I think if I were in the market… - Qale Dec 2, 22:25 1
  - I would look at places like Home Depot and Lowe's. Here they're by far the cheapest place to get a live tree. Not sure why but we even got a discount - Krusty Dec 3, 04:48
