What else do we need to know?:

I have no idea if I got a fair price for my tree. I always buy my trees from local small businesses. There are large box stores near by where I can get a tree for half the price and every year I really want to because I hate spending so much for something that has such a short shelf life. But in the end I reluctantly pass my credit card to the cashier and feel like I'm helping my community.

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.
