B&Q and Tesco slash the price of real Christmas trees to £1

SHOPPERS can snap up last-minute bargain Christmas trees from B&Q and Tesco as both retailers have slashed prices to as little as £1.

They could be perfect for households who’ve yet to decorate their homes this festive season or for those who just want a tree in every room.

One shopper in Southend spotted these cut-price trees in B&QCredit: Extreme Couponing and UK Bargains

B&Q told The Sun the discounts vary from store to store as it’s down to the manager’s discretion while stocks last.

But lots of shoppers have spotted them in their local branches.

One person in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group spotted £11 and £9.50 trees reduced to £1, while £19.50 and £14.50 trees were down to £2.

She wrote: “All real Christmas trees reduced to £1 and £2 in B&Q. This was the Southend [in Essex] branch but should imagine would be everywhere!”

B&Q shoppers around the country have spotted £1 Christmas trees

Someone else tweeted: “If anyone is still in need of a Christmas tree, B&Q Exeter has reduced some lovely ones to £1.”

Another wrote: “Noticed all Christmas trees at our local B&Q are now £1.50 each whatever the size… and most are huge. I’m tempted to get one for the front yard.”

Someone else suggested B&Q donate its remaining trees to families who can’t normally afford one, writing: “Why not donate your remaining trees B&Q Poole to a charity so they can be given to families who would never be able to afford your original prices.”

It’s unclear what size the trees are but they look around the 6ft mark.

But while B&Q’s real Christmas trees have gone into clearance online we couldn’t find any for as cheap as this, so you better pop down quick if you’re after one.

Call ahead to check for availability before making a special trip – use B&Q’s store locator tool to find your nearest.

Some Tesco shoppers also report spotting cut-price trees in their local stores too.

Tesco shoppers have also spotted cheap trees in stores

One person tweeted a picture of the bargains in her local shop writing: “Tesco Xmas trees £1.25!! YES – ONE POUND TWENTY FIVE!! Wow… if only we wasn’t working (we are working promise)”.

Another commented on the Latest Deals, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group: “Just been in Tesco Pontefract [in Wales] – their real Christmas trees were £25 reduced to £1.

“Must say my car is now covered in needles lol”.

But Tesco says the offer is only available at its Pontefract store and is not a nationwide offer. It adds that the deal is on 6ft trees.

A Tesco spokesperson said: “We always like to offer our customers value for money, and with a few Christmas trees left to sell at our Pontefract store, we’ve reduced prices on to an unbeatable £1 – perfect for anyone whose left it until the last minute!”
