Where did you get your Christmas tree?:

Whole Foods

Location of stand/store.:

808 Columbus Ave., New York, NY 10025

How big is your tree?:

7 Feet

How much did you pay for your tree?:

$20-30

What else do we need to know?:

Yes, I think the price was fair. They were having a 50% off sale (for $29.95), but I think that $60 for a tree is excessive. I think the cost of labor and transportation are factored into the cost, but here in NYC there is always a very hefty markup on Christmas trees (and everything else!).

Christmas tree prices can vary significantly from block to block. Help us get a sense of the discrepancy - and whether you feel you got a fair price.
