Tax free weekend

Maddie&EthansMom wrote: Friday, Saturday and Sunday are tax free days in Texas. I've never gone shopping on these days, but I need a couple of things from the uniform shop and I guess I will brave the crowds tomorrow morning to get my last few things. School supplies and school clothes are tax free.

Anyone else have tax free days?

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Ooops! School supplies are taxed this weekend. Clothing (under $100 is exempt). Only shoes and clothes. No accessories. The tax is 8.25% here. So, you have to spend $100 to save $8. Nevertheless, there are LOTS of sales this weekend.

Maddie&EthansMom replied:
Oh yeah that's right! I have friends in Oregon.

Kaitlin'smom replied: nope as far as I know we are taxed everyday

Hillbilly Housewife replied: only 8.25 percent?

We have one at 7% plus one at 8%...

so something 100$ is really 115$....

although not in alberta.... and we never pay tax on food items other than prepared meals at the grocery stores

jacobsmama replied: I want tax free I can't complain though compared to you guys we have 6% and non on grocery or food items so that is better than 8 geez!!
