But I totally agree with everyone else. For the amount of hassle, its not worth it. Kinda reminds me of how Christmas is- all croweded and everyone all pushy to get what they need. No thanks, I'll pass.

I could've choked the Mayor myself for not only reinstating sales tax, but increase it from 8.25 to 8.625.
Supposedly, we have two upcoming tax-free weeks - right before the school year begins (when lots of folks will shop), and during MLK week (right after XMAS, when folks are still recupperating from holiday shopping and therefore broke as hell).
My fiance and I always preferred shopping in Jersey anyways, so I guess we'll continue with tradition.
