My plan is to purchase all of the items before the tax-free weekend, as I would rather pay the tax than brave the crowds. <BR/><BR/>The story you posted was great. I've been in that situation as well, and as frustrating as it is for me, I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186797.post-1152299408721435822006-07-07T14:10:00.000-05:002006-07-07T14:10:00.000-05:00I completely boycott that weekend.

Art supplies, paper, books, any athletic equipment, computer supplies, clothing materials are all exempted from the "holiday". Doesn't it make you wonder why art, athletics, home economics and computer science aren't considered part of "school"? <BR/><BR/>Books and paper are out? I must really be "old-school". I didn't realize they weren't used any longer.<BR/><BR/>Or could it be that the private schools and home schools could be on an equal footing with the tax-exempt public system when it comes to supplies? We couldn't have that.<BR/><BR/>I especially enjoy their pointers on textbooks. I think I will print that out and give it a try next time I am buying "instructional materials". I am sure I won't have to pay tax on them...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
