SAVING TIP #10

Consider an artificial christmas tree.

All the major retail stores sell them and if you spend some time checking them out you can find some very realistic looking ones. It may be more expensive than a real tree up front but remember you can reuse an artificial tree. Some last 10 to 15 years. But, if you just can't do without the real thing, try to hold out to the last minute. You can usually find a bargain the closer to the holiday it gets. Tree farms that let you cut your own tree are usually more expensive, however they do last longer than pre cut trees at larger retail stores.
