For those of you who are on a tight budget for Christmas for whatever the reason, you can still enjoy a beautiful tree for the kids, or just yourself. Dollar general has a 6 foot Christmas tree on sale for $10. I know it's not as grand as a $120 tree or even a $69 tree, but it will look pretty once decorated and the kids will never know that you only paid $10!
Walmart has some cheap lights and ornaments to go with your new tree. You should be able to get a tree, put a beautiful strand of colored lights and decorate with ornaments all for less than $20. I'd say that is a decent holiday deal. Look, for anyone who is not on a strict budget, please keep negative comments to yourself. Many people have a hard time affording all the gifts for their kids, work parties, relatives, etc., around the holiday season. Buying a tree is just another expensive that stresses them out. My post here is just to show that YES, you have a tree in your home/apartment and be in the holiday mood for cheap. I hope this post helps at least 1 or 2 people out there. My wife and I wish you a very happy Christmas!

According to my rough calculations (using incandescent=40w, led=5w) powering a 100ft string of lights 24 hours a day just through the 31 days of December, your energy cost (18¢/kWh) for LED would be $0.67 vs $5.36 for incandescent. Then multiply that by months, years, etc.
Don't fall for the "slick deal" of an incandescent bulb!

I was equally as tempted when I saw a 100 count string light at Home Depot today for $2.54 but then I saw they were incandescents !!!!
