NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — You have a lot of different options when it comes to Christmas trees! The American Christmas Tree Association says trees can cost anywhere from $25 to $2,500.
On average, for a 6-foot tree, the non-profit says you can expect to spend about $80 for a real one and a little more than a $100 for a fake one.
"Even though inflation has impacted consumers greatly, they are spending most of their money on the essentials, food and gasoline," the association said. "However, 94% of consumers will have a Christmas tree this year."
If you live in an area where they grow Christmas trees, it's likely going to be cheaper than if you live somewhere that doesn't because of shipping costs.
So how can you save money? Cut down your own tree or buy early.
If you start in November, you may find better deals or a better selection...so at this point, it's advice to keep in mind for next year.
As far the fake trees go, we found out it's best to buy one of these after the holiday.
I'm not sure there is a story that's brought a bigger smile to our faces than this one celebrating Ms. Marie. The story of her service during World War II is amazing in itself — she is a true Rosie the Riveter! What was also amazing was to see was how an entire community turned out to celebrate her. You've got to check this out!
