Did supermarkets have 5 for €5 on selection boxes at some stage

I was about to post saying that 300/400 for a Christmas tree is absolutely nuts, but a quick Google tells me it seems to be a thing WOW!

We got our tree for 50 quid from the local supermarket about 6 years ago and it's honestly the best tree we have ever had, I can't have a real one in the house as I get a rash from evergreens for some reason so we have no choice but to go artificial but this one is so good and barely sheds a thing year on year whereas some of the older ones we had would drop loads of stuff each year with use.

We got a new one last year in Arnotts.  Can't remember how much it cost, but they had a decent selection with a wide range of prices.

Not sure where you are, but if you're south Dublin then Christmasland in Goatstown is very good. Not sure when they open (it's a garden centre most of the year). I think they often have a few of last year's stock that they sell off cheap, that's how we got one. Really nice one, can't remember what we paid but it wasn't a lot

I'll keep an eye out for here too. I am still in shock at the prices of Woodies trees.

Wouldn't have thought of there, and have loads of points to use!
