It's always crazy around here when it's going on! I wouldn't normally go unless there is something in particular I have been wanting. I wonder if purses qualify... :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-980588 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 09:56:15 +0000 T-Mom 980588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: That's right, you guys are famous for being tax free... how nice. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-980227 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:09:48 +0000 cmomma17 980227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have these in VA. One for back to school stuff and then another (I forget which month) where it's all emergency related items that qualify (like generators, batteries, bottled water, etc.). We won't participate this month, my stepkids don't need school supplies and we're sticking to a tight budget this month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-980188 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:58:40 +0000 yin 980188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No tax in Delaware :) It's tax free weekend every weekend. Hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-980129 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:30:41 +0000 PurplePumps 980129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in MA and there's no tax on clothing and shoes, I guess what they deem necessities, all the time, but we do have a tax free weekend coming up for anything. Furniture stores are already running double your tax back promos and stuff. It's INSANE at the mall at the Tiffany, LV, etc where things don't go on sale. But just over the border in NH, no tax on anything. Lots of people go just over the border to buy TVs, appliances, and stuff like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-979898 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 00:06:01 +0000 T-Mom 979898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Vegmama: that is awesome that there's no tax in OR!<br /> @Mrs Spoon: I'm thinking maybe CA needs all the taxes they can can get.. ;-)<br /> @PrincessBaby: woohoo for new shoes ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-979871 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 23:07:14 +0000 Boopers 979871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I brave the crowds for $8 every year! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-979829 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 22:26:31 +0000 Mrs Spoon 979829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I've never heard of this. Crazy. I would totally be doing some shopping if CA ever had anything like this!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-979725 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 21:13:04 +0000 Vegmama 979725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have no tax in Oregon, which is pretty awesome!! When we travel, I get annoyed about having to pay it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-978312 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:07:02 +0000 BSB 978312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think we have one here in WA. We could just go into OR if we wanted tax free shopping. It's about 3 hours away for me, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-978285 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:00:12 +0000 yoursilverlining 978285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never heard of a tax-free weekend before!! I agree that it's not really much incentive; its always nice to save money but sales tax doesn't/wouldn't impact my shopping habits. I do live about an hour from New Hampshire, where there is no sales tax and a lot of people go there for big shopping trips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-978281 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:59:04 +0000 purrpletulips 978281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of the kids clothing resale shops is having one this weekend. I'm not sure if it is a state thing though as they are the only ones I've heard doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-978200 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:41:47 +0000 T-Mom 978200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I agree.. it's not a huge incentive at all. However, I'm thinking that some of the stores will offer additional discounts to lure the shoppers. Still, I'm not planning to shop since I've done enough damage to last me a while as of late :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-977793 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:40:22 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 977793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in TX, too, but I think I'll skip the rush on that weekend and shop before hand. If you think about it, you're not really saving *that* much... $8 every $100... definitely not enough incentive for me to be out there w/ all the crazies lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-977763 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:33:21 +0000 lindseykaye 977763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're probably going to buy a new external harddrive to backup all our important stuff.<br /> We don't need clothes/shoes/etc. at the moment (and neither does LO as tempting as it may be) so hopefully this will allow us to avoid all the crazy busy sales. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-977737 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:27:36 +0000 pui 977737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tax free weekend...? This sounds awesome, but I've never heard of it! I don't think we have those in Canada. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-977688 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:14:35 +0000 Dandelion 977688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, this weekend coming up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-977686 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:13:10 +0000 T-Mom 977686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I know, every time we have this weekend, I'm reminded of those awesome states like MA and MN apparently who don't have clothing tax at all! It's an awesome feeling to just pay the price on the tag without anything extra added at check out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-977681 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:11:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 977681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I know! It's awesome! Especially with the MOA. I think it's a huge reason the MOA is such a desirable shopping location. I think if our governor implemented clothing tax it would negatively affect the economy of MN for that reason alone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-977673 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:08:39 +0000 T.H.O.U. 977673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is coming up and I doubt I will hit the mall. Its just too crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-977671 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:07:42 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 977671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom always took us school shopping on tax free weekend. My state has one, but we don't have anything we need to buy. So I will be skipping it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-977650 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 09:59:34 +0000 MrsBrewer 977650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Really?? I didn't know that! Another reason to move to MN ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-977649 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 09:58:35 +0000 runsyellowlites 977649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have before, but usually I prefer to stay home on crazy sale days! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-977641 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 09:54:19 +0000 regberadaisy 977641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we haven't had one in years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-977634 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 09:52:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 977634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that's a neat idea!</p> <p>MN is one of the very few states left that doesn't have clothing tax at all - I love it! But the governor has talked about implementing it, boo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-977632 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 09:51:52 +0000 PrincessBaby 977632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SC is...And DH and I were trying to figure out if the french door fridge we're about to buy could qualify, but it's looking like computers are the only big electric items that qualify.</p> <p>And there is a pair of really nice sandals I've been eying at Billy Reid and hubs says we can get them this weekend:). Score:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tax-free-weekend#post-977614 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 09:42:55 +0000 T-Mom 977614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is your state having a tax-free weekend soon? My state is having a tax-free weekend right before back to school in August. Typically it includes things like backpacks, clothes, shoes, sports equipment, and other school supplies. I have shopped a few of these but it's madness! However, I know some parents wait until this weekend to get any of their kids' back to school supplies and clothes. What about you? Planning to shop your tax-free weekend? </p>
