NC Tax Free!

What a perfect weekend to get a little shopping done in North Carolina!  Some of my favorite spots are  small local businesses like Mears in Enfield and EJW and Tassels in Morehead City! I also love the Teachers Pet!  What a great educational resource! EJW is perfect for recreational equipment and clothing for the guys in your life!!  Tassels not only carries fabulous shoes and accessories but also new lines of clothing!

August Sales Tax Holiday provides an exemption for certain items of tangible personal property sold between 12:01 A.M. on the first Friday in August and 11:59 P.M. the following Sunday. Clothing, footwear, and school supplies of $100 or less per item; school instructional materials of $300 or less per item; sports and recreation equipment of $50 or less per item, computers of $3,500 or less per item; and computer supplies of $250 or less per item will be exempt.  
I notice people often reminisce about family owned businesses that once were! If we all "shop local" in NC we can help keep our favorite stores around for years to come instead of being a fond memory! 

Please do not forget to also purchase items for kids in need when you visit The Teachers Pet! Communities in Schools of Carteret County as well as other organizations are helping "Stuff the Bus"! 

Enjoy your Day, Carolina Style!
