Tax Sales on Holidays

Factor it into the final price of whatever I'm buying after that when I get up to the register to pay, I end up with minor label shock because whatever I'm buying always ends up being more than I expected.

During the month of August, some states are present "sales tax holidays." Mostly that means for a set period of time certain products won't be taxed. Unfortunately for me, Maryland is not one of the states by a tax holiday this month. But maybe I'll make over to Virginia to take advantage of their lack of sales tax on back-to-school items, including clothes and shoes. Virginia's tax holiday on school materials runs.
