Mr. Jingles Christmas Trees

Incredibly over priced!
I usually get my trees from Home Depot. I saw a Living Social offer where if you pay $ 25, you get $ 50 worth of tree at Mr. Jingles. Knowing what $ 50 gets me at Home Depot, I was expecting a rather decent tree.
Imagine my shock to realize that at Mr. Jingles, $ 50 gets you a small, table top tree. A six foot tree will run $ 70. I thought to myself, okay, fine, lesson learned — bite the bullet and accept the fact that you were ripped off this year. As I sifted through the trees, most of them were already dying! Plus, the selection was very limited! Talk about adding insult to injury!
I really hope that those of you who see the Living Social ad, will check Unilocal to see that my situation is more common than uncommon. I wish I had Unilocaled before buying the deal.
Next year, I’m going to Home Depot. Fresh trees, better prices, lots of parking!

They have really nice trees, I bought a Groupon which was a good deal, but the trees are a little pricey so I ended paying more anyways. I like Douglas trees just because of the fullness and they are a little cheaper but they didn’t have very many that were 7 ft + not a bad experience but expect to still pay a little difference.

Well, I would have had a much different review if I posted on thanksgiving day. I don’t want to be negative but let’s say things just weren’t organized nor was my tree properly ready for decorating. It died after several days However, I spoke to the owner nick and within few hours had a new tree delivered. Luther and Christian were courtesy and very sincere with the apology about what occurred with the first tree. When the new delivered tree didn’t fit my stand they took back to lot and corrected the stump/​stand ratio. Had the tree back within 30min. Yes, this whole situation was an inconvenience but they took care of my concern right away. I too was looking forward to the candy canes and hot chocolate. Maybe next year. Merry Christmas

The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were very knowledgeable about the trees and assisted me in finding the perfect tree as well as securing it to my car. I will definitely be coming back to see them year after year. Thank you Mr. Jingles.
One negative: I went to buy my tree after my family and I had finished thanksgiving dinner, but the Balboa park location closed early due to no customers. This was a bummer as my family and I were very excited to pick out our tree after thanksgiving dinner as we usually do. Instead we postponed our tradition for the Saturday after thanksgiving.

We purchased a UT San Diego deal — we loved the idea of Xmas tree shopping close to Balboa park, and they said you could have any greenery you wanted PLUS they give you hot chocolate and candy canes. Sounded like an event! So, our ticket had the wrong address on it – the address went by a big hole in the ground. We ended up having to google it to find it on Quince street. When we got there, there was very little parking and just a spattering of trees up – forget the hot chocolate. Worst of all — all the trees were CRISPY dried out! We couldn’t believe it! I’ve not ever seen crispy Xmas trees before — and this is shopping 2 days after Thxgiving when you think they’d be fresh! They finally unearthed one that we could live with — they didn’t have one of those machines to knock off the dead needles (and there was disheartening amount of dead needles on them). .. no thanks. I asked for greenery, and they let me pick the stuff on the ground (not much there). Never again — I’ll stick with the place in El Cajon that we’ve always gone to…this was just a joke!
