They're always 50p to £1 cheaper when they first come on sale. [I spotted real trees for sale in our Morrison’s yesterday - I wonder what the chances are of them still having needles on by Christmas?] It'll be fine if you leave it outside until you are ready to use it.

How totally inappropriate is this sort of challenge in these times, force feeding yourself with food that you don’t need, and didn’t successfully succeed anyway. On Children In Need day (think what you like about the fundraising) it’s hardly a great message to be sending out.
