I'm with you Pam! I haven't order from the new catty yet so that I too don't go overboard. I am going to weed through my extremely long wish list and hopefully place an order in the morning.
This place has too many awesome samples that make me want everything!!!
You go, Pam! Tell us what you ordered. I never thougth of waiting to place an order so the madness would wear off. I set up a spreadsheet and totsl my whole wishlist, then start taking things out. The boring accountant in me, I guess ... Happy ordering
I put in my first order from the new catty on Thursday because we had a tax-free weekend. All items $20 and under were tax-free ... so I made a $200 order of just stuff under $20! LOL! I got the hostess benefits and 11 new sets and paid NO tax!! Can't wait for it to get here now!!! LOL!
I finally had some nice time this afternoon to start going through the catty too - my list is getting way too long!!!! Good thing I have a year to work on buying these stamps. I'm going to make a list up for our tax free weekend this coming weekend. Great excuse to save (while spending - ha!) Have fun! Julie Ann

Shell, I thought the sales tax holiday only applied to stuff for back-to-school -- at least that's what the signs at Wal-Mart said. I could be wrong, because this is a totally new phenomenon for me. We don't have sales tax holidays in Virginia!
Being an (almost) native Oregonian (I moved here as a kid) I am always floored when I go to other states & have to pay more than what is listed on the shelf for items. It's so annoying. They keep putting sales taxes in front of us voters here & it gets voted down every time by an overwhelming majority! You think they (the State) would get the message that we DO NOT want a sales tax here.
Good luck with the sales tax holidays!

I have to say I also have my wish list on an excel spreadsheet. Do you think I have too much time on my hands??????????? If the rest of my house was that organized, who knows what would happen.
Oh I miss Oregon! I came from NM where I grew up adding tax automatically. When we moved to Oregon, we were first shocked to learn that we could not pump our own gas...very odd feeling...guilty kinda. Got used to it altho I could have been filled and gone in the time it took someone else to do it. Then we stopped at a Wendy's to get a couple of Frostys and the girl told me the total. I actually told her that she must have forgotten the tax key. That's when I found out that we didn't have sales tax. Whoo Hoo! No tax on anything! Now in Sitka we have 5% during the winter and 6% during the summer. Still lower than NM was I think but it does stink. We have a tax free day here in December too.

Well, SU had a note on the web site explaining that any items for $20 or less were eligible. I was thrilled! When I put in the order - and the workshop order I had from Thursday night - SU didn't charge tax on any of those items. Now, it did charge it for the more expensive items ... but I didn't order any of those!! LOL!

I would much rather have a sales tax than an income tax. Because my husband and I are self-employed, we get eaten alive on taxes! I keep hoping that some day everywhere will have just a sale tax.
Hey Sitka! I just loved visiting Alaska when were there in May. Are you still having abnormally warm weather? I remember going into a little camera shop by the Wells Fargo and when I said I was with SU she said, "Oh, we have one of those here too!" I guess she was referring to you!
Milette from Texas
who hopes she is replying correctly, first timer
I looked on the site, but it didn't mention Ohio. I hope you have something like it! It was worth it to me!! I am excited to be getting 11 sets and extra supplies. It was fun to find all of the under $20 items! LOL!
Since I am living in oregon for less than a year, i get the benefits of no sales tax (yay!) and then the "benefits" of income tax in arizona...not that its that great, but I dont have to get hit with the big stuff here in Oregon. I am enjoying it
I broke down and am doing it now..decisions decisions. I finally got the order all figured out..up to 500.00..only 100.00 of that is from another show that didn't quite qualify. Now i am faced with what level 3 hostess set to get..and also what free stuff to get..argh. HELP> This is killing me too.
okay, I have my order saved online because I may get a small order from a woman at church in the next coupld of days. So, this is what I have entered (and, it's quite possible it will change!):

I think I may have gone overboard on the shape sets! I'll have to go over it again tomorrow because I didn't get Petal Prints or In Full Bloom on the list.
I set up a spreadsheet and totsl my whole wishlist, then start taking things out. The boring accountant in me, I guess ...
LOL! Sue, I use excell and put in everything I wanted! Then I went through and Bold the items that I really wanted. I grouped those together so I could add them up separately. My entire wish list was very close to $800! Of course, then the Holiday Mini came and now I have some more to add! I don't take off of my wish list unless I purchase it or my desire to have it disappears. (That doesn't happen very often!)
Some demonstrators have had questions concerning upcoming sales tax holidays. Please note that the exemptions for Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and West Virginia are per item, which means that any item that complies with the state’s regulations qualifies for tax exemption.
In contrast, the exemption for Missouri is per order. We contacted the state of Missouri to confirm this information, and its ruling indicates that if a hostess order is comprised of several customer orders under $50, only the first $50 of the total hostess order of eligible school supplies is exempt during the sales tax holiday. For more information, please reference the Missouri state Web site at www.dor.mo.gov. Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to comply with state tax regulations.
The sales tax holiday for the state of Georgia runs July 29–August 1, 2004. During this period, all stamp sets and accessories purchased for personal use that are $20 or less will not be charged sales tax. Supply orders will not be exempt from sales tax.
North Carolina
The sales tax holiday for the state of North Carolina runs August 6–August 8, 2004. During this period, all stamp sets and accessories purchased for personal use that are $100 or less will not be charged sales tax. Supply orders will not be exempt from sales tax.
Massachusetts
Massachusetts has enacted a single-day sales tax holiday for August 14, 2004, for all items of tangible personal property bought for personal use costing $2,500 or less with some restrictions. Since the exemption is on a Saturday, only internet sales ordered and paid for on August 14, 2004 (ET), will be exempt.
Connecticut
The sales tax holiday for the state of Connecticut runs August 15–August 21, 2004. The exemption is for clothing and since clothing is purchased through supply orders, the clothing exemption will not apply.
Iowa
The sales tax holiday for the state of Iowa runs August 6–August 7, 2004. The exemption is for clothing and since clothing is purchased through supply orders, the clothing exemption will not apply.

South Carolina
The sales tax holiday for the state of South Carolina runs August 6–August 8, 2004. According to the SC revenue advisory bulletin, the exemption will apply to school supplies including but not limited to pens, pencils, and glue. The department states “school supplies�? are items used in the classroom or at home with respect to school assignments. Due to this limited definition, only pens, pencils, markers and glue are exempt.
West Virginia
The sales tax holiday for West Virginia runs August 6–August 8, 2004. According to administrative notice 2004-19, West Virginia will exempt school supplies under $100. The notice states pencils, glue, markers, pens, pencil sharpeners, and watercolor paint sets are exempt.
Missouri
