Yeah, that nasty old reality keeps cropping up here too! I am finding that
this is yet another thing that I may or may not be so PC about. Yes, I like
the cute little Xmas tree stand in our cute little town. But Home Depot just
advertised Xmas trees for 1/2 the price. That $25-30 buys a lot of gifts for
my kids at the Dollar store. So I will be a "bad person" and buy from Home
Depot.
