Find The 2009 Sales Tax Holiday For Your State.
It’s just about that time of year again, when most states in America offer up a few days to shop without paying sales tax. While some states are not having the days this year (Massachusetts & California being two states without “no sales tax” days), many states will have sales tax holiday shopping days for their residents. To help you out, I have assembled the following list of the dates, number of shopping days, the items included, and the website you can go to for more information. Enjoy!

Sales Tax Holidays are great for those who have a plan and have saved the money to cover their purchases. Unfortunately, some people overestimate the amount they will save and buy things they don’t need or had not planned to buy just because they are “saving money”.
