If you don’t need your Christmas tree after Dec. 25, you might be able to get a full refund.
A woman in Santa Clara, California was spotted returning a Christmas tree to Costco on Jan. 4. She returned the tree “because it [was] dead,” a shopper waiting in line behind her said according to The Sun, and got her money back.
“I can’t make this stuff up,” Scott Bentley, who took a photo in the refund line, wrote on Facebook.
Costco gave the woman her refund after questioning her, verifying the purchase on her Costco account and shaming her “to a small degree,” the other shopper said.
The refund attempt riled up people online who couldn’t believe someone would try to return their Christmas tree well into the new year.
“People like this are miserable. Seriously, how cheap can you be?” one commenter said.

As an aside, when IKEA first entered the US market, they used to "rent" Christmas trees. IIRC they would give back half the purchase price if you returned it to the store. The had a big shredder that would convert them to mulch (or starter material for their furniture) on the spot.

Speaking of IKEA, they want women to pee on their ad to "activate" the coupon for a discount on a crib if pregnant.
I wonder how their cashiers feel about accepting these urine soaked coupons.

That's pathetic.
Costco's Christmas trees are excellent. We've bought ours there the last three years, and every time we got a much better quality and longer-lasting tree than at any of the parking lot pop-up stores we'd used previously--and for about half the price (went up from $30 to $35 last year).

How long do they last? I usually get mind around Dec 10-15 and keep them until Jan 8-10. About 10 years ago I got one from Home Depot and it started falling apart as soon as I got home and but the net it was wrapped in. Ever since I drive to a local farm and cut one myself, can't get any fresher than that. prices are higher, this year I paid $55 IIRC. But we like this and I support local economy.
