We have a sales tax-free weekend here in GA right before school starts, and shopping is crazy! We live near a mall - and traffic is almost like Christmas time! Augh!!
sounds like fun

Wow. Is it really that much savings? How much is your sales tax???

We have it too in NY; but it is always the week before school starts and I liked doing my shopping about a month before. Don't have to worry about school shopping any more since DS is in college and clothes don't mean as much now (thank goodness!!).
It was about a 7-8 percent savings and stores would usually have great sales in conjunction with tax free week. I used to cross over to PA to clothes shop since they didn't have tax on clothes there.

Love bargains but hate crowds. I heard Weds. mornings have the lightest crowds in stores like WMart and at malls. I've been finding that true around me.

I'd have to want something really bad to fight the crowds. I don't think we have that in Michigan.

Saving on taxes sure helps when getting kids ready for school.
When it gets that crazy, I avoid going, even if I miss the bargains. That's why I do a lot of shopping online. Anyway, I'm glad I don't have to do school shopping any more. Them days are long gone for me!

Already? in MO, it doesn't start until Friday. If you're doing a lot of shopping 7 - 8 % helps alot. You can usually find some good bargains on kids clothes.

Me three!!!! Hello it's only an 8.25% discount, give me a break! At any other time during the year, if you watch for the sales, you'll 10% or 15% or more in discounts.

It most certainly was! I tried to find a regular "8" count box of crayons and had to go to three different stores. I ended up buying them for way to much at School Box. Thank goodness my ds is only going into kindergarten. I would hate to have to search for upper grade levels!
Or you could just pop over to DE, they have 0 sales tax on everything!
