sweethonee97 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Just found out that South Carolina will have a tax-free holiday on Black Friday and the Saturday following. This is just so great! More money for me to spend!
blakes_mommy Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I know when we lived in NY it was only done around school time.. I hope you NYers get a break this year. I remember the tax was a bit high there! And we lived in the farm land!
mamaroe4 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I doubt the Guvahnator would do something like that! If it was before the election he might.
colelane2001 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Just found out that South Carolina will have a tax-free holiday on Black Friday and the Saturday following. This is just so great! More money for me to spend! Are you getting the tax break only on certain items? (Like the school tax break) Enjoy the break.
elena_398 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I wish Ohio did something like that. I won't hold my breath though
bugsette Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 wow how cool.... me too about Ohio ..... they would probably add more tax to that day if they could
luv2shopnc Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Maybe your neighboring state, NC will follow suit! Otherwise I might have to cross the border!

disneynutangie Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 If North Carolina does not offer this then I guess I might consider crossing the boarder for one of those larger purchase items. (crossing finger for laptop). As of right this momemt I called my dh to tell him I am going to Gaffney Prime Outlet at midnight for some tax free shopping.
