Great time for us to save on new shoes! (And yes, Kevin, I do really NEED new shoes - I've almost got a hole in these soles) Also, here in Georgia we’re seeing a lot of retailers combining a big sale with the tax free weekend – like a local shoe store offering a “buy one, get the second of equal or lesser value half-off” sale during tax free shopping days.

I've lived in LA, San Diego, and right now the OC and I've paid 8.25% in LA, and 7.75% in the other two. And we have no state tax holidays, that I could find. Blah!
