Members NathanR Posted November 28, 2022 Members Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) Here's a list I created of the cheapest sets (pre Christmas, 2022) I found searching for Christmas lights via the various search engines to be nearly impossible & extremely frustrating. They actively pushed me towards LED & expensive options. I also found buying online and shipping to you is almost always cheaper than buying in store. -- Brand is Holiday Time or Holiday Living (cheapest possible) residential grade, 1yr (season) warranty. Length is ~20ft for strings -- If this isn't helpful or for you. Ignore. Mods delete if not useful at-all. -- FWIW, I like Incandescent lights for the color, dimming, no flicker, price, etc. Thus no LED lights listed. 100ct Mini ~$3.24/100ct YMMV $2.98 - Multi on Green [sale] $2.98 - Clear on Green [sale] Clear on Green Amber on Green Red on Green Blue on Green Green on Green Multi on Green xxx on White - exists but hard to find 150ct Mini ~$3.16/100ct YMMV (2 strings, 3x 50ct sections each) Clear on White Pink on White Blue on White Multi on White Green on White - Impossible to find Clear on Green Multi on Green Red on Green Green on Green Blue on Green Icicles ~$11.48/string YMMV (strings vary from 100-300ct) Clear on White Blue on White Multi on White Red on White Blue/Frost on White Twin-Cicle Red/Frost on White Twin-Cicle - exists in store but cant' find online link For reference (white & red box from past years) $2.44-2.48 Holiday Time 100ct Mini Edited November 28, 2022 by NathanR 112ch LOR, Incandescent Mini Lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NathanR Posted November 29, 2022 Author Members Share Posted November 29, 2022 Hah, perhaps :) When I was a kid we (my mom and I) went after Christmas one year and bought up carts full of 100ct mini's for probably $1.50-2.00 Came in handy when you were poor but invested everything into Christmas Lights and LOR Controllers ;) 1 112ch LOR, Incandescent Mini Lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sparkles Posted January 1 Members Share Posted January 1 I was at Walmart on Friday and they still had a fair amount of lights left. I didn't even bother going into Lowes or Home Depot as those places are usually picked clean by now. 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
