Tax Free Shopping in NY

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

TAX-Free-ShoppingThere is a tax free week in NY State but this one I’m talking about is that tax free shopping all the time. But of course like all the good things there are some conditions to that…

I thought I should write about this here so that you can take advantage of it.

In September of 2005, New York City permanently eliminated the city sales tax of 4% on clothing and footwear purchases under $110. In April of 2006, the state of New York followed suit and repealed its portion of the sales tax on these items. The result is that the five boroughs of New York City are the only counties in the state of New York that charge no sales tax on these purchases.

Scarves, gloves and hats

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

hatsglovesandscarvesI always think that people who live in a climate that Christmas is cold and snowy have to buy winter themed gifts… I didn’t see anybody who buys the Christmas gifts in the summer time or you managed to buy swimsuit or summer clothes as gifts on a cold Christmas morning it would look weird, you might get some rolling eyes, some silent swearing…That’s what I think, nobody wants a gift that they can use it in 6 months, everybody wants something that can be used right away…

I think it’s fabulous, it gives a depth in your kitchen and also it can stop you from over eating since you’ll see yourself on it. :) (more…)
