WSB didn’t debut till Christmas Eve 2005, so it was too late for a Christmas tree price check that year, but we’ve done one every year since, dating back to 2006. So once again, by request, here’s the fifth annual edition – bigger and better than ever, thanks to the help of a Super Secret Tree Shopper who braved the downpours these past few days and sampled prices not only for trees but also for some of the other holiday trimmings. Disclaimer: You may find something different when you shop – we have no guarantee that prices and/or hours didn’t change the second our Super Secret Tree Shopper walked off the lot, or that they won’t change next week, or in the final days – this is just meant to be a guide, if you’re looking for help before figuring out where you’re going and how much you want to spend. North to South, here they are, after the jump:
