Boscovs, Michaels, Sears, Kmart, and Walmart usually have good, reasonable trees. Our most recent one is from Sears. I'd be afraid to buy one online because you can't feel how strong the branches are or anything online. |
But can't you just replace bulbs if/when they burn out...in other words, why do they only last a few years? Do they start looking scraggy or something else?
Thanks for the suggestions - I didn't think of Sears or Kmart, good idea!

Lots of people have recommend the GE brand sold at Home Depot, I think I'll have to check them out too, once we get all the stuff on the tree, you really can't see the tree. My first one I got at Michaels and it was really great, but they have sold really great ones for long time. |
I'll check out Home Depot. Yesterday I was looking at Lowes (in person) and my gosh, those trees are just sparse looking - and they're not cheap! I don't know how they get away w/ charging so much for these darn trees.
