If you live in GA, you’ve probably heard it all over the news…not to mention the sales papers.  Today, July 30, 2009 starts the Sales Tax Holiday.   Certain items purchase through Sunday, August 2, 2009 are exempt from sales tax.  For many items like computers and related accessories, this can be a huge savings.  While saving $1.40 on a $20 purchase of pens, pencils and paper, might not be worth standing in line for an hour. 

Please know that with all good things, there are rules and exceptions to the rules (the tax code is full of exceptions).   Check out the list of  exempt items before heading to the store.  Happy Shopping.
