Good Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night!

Hello G'an'G, Its been another wet day so I went yellow sticker hunting, for a change,
There I am, mooching around wondering when they'll mark down the yellow stickers further, when along comes a lady with her trolley full of plants - poinsettias and a potted Christmas tree, about 3' tall.
She walked over and said "Can I ask you a question?". I thought it would be something on the lines of "Where do they keep the?" but no......... it was "Do you think this tree is worth £40?".
I tried not to react too strongly, in case she thought it was a bargain, but, whilst it was a nicely shaped, blue spruce (I think), no way was it worth £40. Tentatively, I said that it was a good tree if she intended to plant it in the garden, but, if it was just for this year, it was very expensive.
Fortunately she agreed and said she was going to put it back on the shelf.
I bought a poinsettia there last week, yellow stickered down to 75p - a few dead leaves/bracts taken off and its as good as a £3 one. No £40 tree here.

Our ornamental Christmas tree must be about 30 years old and probably cost a couple of squid back then!  Its been in three attics as far as I remember!

I did pay a couple of squid for a Poinsettia which looks very Christmassy stuck in the window, where it gets loads of light and will hopefully holdt its coloured bracts for quite a while.  When you look at the cost of a bunch of flowers these days, poinsettias seem a good buy.
My yelow sticker hunts aren't being too successful lately so maybe a few tips on your behalf Veggie wouldn't go amiss?
