    Aaaaand it's back... Thanks op

    Think it's still a bit early though, unless you stand it in water or something.

    About 6 feet, ideal for an apartment or small setting but I don’t think they’re big enough for a larger room/hallway.

    I’ve gotten the deal for the last few years but will be going elsewhere this year for a bigger tree.

    Thanks @amcalester It sounds like a good deal but I would like an 8ft - a tree isn't a tree until the star touches the ceiling ;)

    Anyone know if the trees come with a stand, or if they'll put a stand on for extra? Hoping to pick one up tomorrow but don't have a stand at home (or the tools to attach a stand :o)

    Similar offer this year. Tree costs €30 and you get a voucher worth €15.

    So the tree is costing 15 rather than 10 in previous years. Still a good deal but indicative of how theyve been increasing some prices over the last few years. Same in the canteen, they've done some price walking to make it sneak up by about 25% over the last couple of years. Still some great bargains up there though, cant fault them on that.

    Wonder where they're sourcing their tree. My fathers a grower and they want to be buying them fairly cheap to be able to sell them at that price.

    The trees are reduced to €20 now and you still get the €15 voucher. The employee wrapping the trees told me it was BOGOF today only too. About 50 trees left.
