just realized i've been buying my artificial christmas tree at the worst possible time lol. apparently the best time to buy artificial christmas tree is literally right after christmas when stores are trying to clear inventory—prices drop like crazy. or if you're planning ahead, thanksgiving is when deals start showing up too.

but honestly if you're shopping now or anytime outside the season, you're probably overpaying. the whole thing with artificial trees is they don't expire like real ones, so there's no rush. you can grab one whenever it's on sale, even in like july if you find a good deal.

real trees are different though—those you gotta time better. early december is supposedly the sweet spot if you want fresh ones that last through new year without drying out. but artificial? best time to buy artificial christmas tree really just comes down to catching those post-holiday clearance sales. saves you hundreds if you're patient.

anyway if you're thinking about switching to fake trees, the pre and post-christmas sales are when you actually want to pull the trigger. way cheaper than buying full price in october or something
