Start looking at garage sales and paper ads because this is the time of year people start replacing their trees. We always waited till after Christmas to buy trees since they go on sale so cheap. Year before last we got one at Home Depot after Christmas for an unbelievable price of $30.00 for a 7' one. We put it in the sun room last year and decorated it with nothing but dog ornament's. Now the tread mill is in that spot, so I'm not sure if I can even find a place to put it this year.
