Remember fellow NC citizens that this weekend is Sales Tax Free Weekend in NC . For a brief moment in time, you're actually allowed to keep your hard in money (for some things).


You can check this link for more info:
Sales Tax Holiday

I believe online orders also are exempt. The wording is a little confusing if you follow the links. Exempt implies that you don't have to pay taxes on it (I original thought it meant it was exempt from being tax-free).

Enjoy

Yes its a nice gesture and yes you do save a little extra, and a lot of people look at it as "getting over on the state". Funny thing is though, an apparel company I used to work for always had promotions offering 10 or 15 percent off throughout the year and you could hardly drag people in. But have a tax-free weekend and they came in droves.
Guess what...you save more money getting 10% off and paying sales tax...think about it.
