Fir price: £1 for Christmas trees
FLAT-PACK furniture giant Ikea has slashed the price of thousands of Christmas trees to just £1.
Originally the Southampton branch of the Swedish chain had the Nordmann firs on sale for £25.
We wanted to give customers a very special offer on our gorgeous trees
However, a lack of interest forced the store to drop the price to £5. When that failed to attract shoppers, the price was slashed to £1.
Store manager Gary Pearce said: “We wanted to give customers a very special offer on our gorgeous trees.”
One happy customer said: “I thought I’d struggle to find one. I’m glad I did leave it so late.”
