Now I realize most of you that read this will be asking WTF is this post about?  Where’s the marketing articles?  But it’s Christmas dontcha know, and I go a little mad for the festive season.

My Name is Tracey and I LOVE CHRISTMAS.

There.

So let’s get down to the actual content of this post – how to decorate your christmas tree on a budget.  (BTW, this search get’s practically no search traffic according to the GAKT so I’m not writing this post for any monetary reasons – just because I wanted to write something Christmasy.

Cool.

So anyway…

My Christmas Tree decorating budget this year was to do the whole tree (including buying that actual tree as well) for under $100.  Success!

Here is our tree:

Batman helped me decorate the tree this year.  Bless him.

How to Decorate Your Christmas Tree for under $100

I got the tree and Christmas angel at Big W.  The rest of the decorations were made from three bunches of white faux poinsettia flowers which I cut to separate the flowers (each ‘bunch’ had about six or seven flowers on it).  The rest of the decorations were found at a discount store for $1 each.  The only real expense were the Christmas tree lights which even though they had 20% off the price at Target still ended up being $28.00 which is a bit more than I wanted to pay.

195cm Tree – $27.86
Tree topper angel – $14.98
150 x Tree Lights (Warm White from Target) – $28.00 (they were 20% off)
3 x Poinsettia Bunches @$2.99 = $8.97
Random Gold & Silver Decorations 20 x $1 – $20

Total Cost: $99.81

Not bad if I do say so myself.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
