this but only up to $200 per article I think. -- nm - Diva Jul 17, 12:55
Yup but only up to $110 per item. -- nm - Krusty Jul 17, 12:52 3
- But what if we charge 1100 for a suit, but give you a dozen more free -- nm - Jos A Banks, marketing dept Jul 17, 12:55 2
  - Ha! Has anyone here ever bought a suit from them? They always have great deals but are they nice suits? - Krusty Jul 17, 12:59 1
    - Do they sell flip flops? -- nm - CQ Jul 17, 13:02
Our tax free weekend is the weekend of STChicagostravagnsa -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 17, 12:50 4
- I hear everything in Chicago is free that weekend. Let me know if it's true. -- nm - Mop Jul 17, 12:59
- And our sales tax is going up (to 10.25% and 11.25% downtown). Highest in the country. - pmb Jul 17, 12:53 2
  - My sales tax is 23% - Loyola Jul 17, 12:57 1
    - Ouch. -- nm - Krusty Jul 17, 13:05
That is just *dumb*. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:50 6
- It's a draw for tourists (applies to items below $110) -- nm - ty97 Jul 17, 12:51 5
  - It's a draw for me too. I almost never buy any clothes over $110. Here's the list of what is exempt from the tax. -- (link) - Krusty Jul 17, 12:53 4
    - *shrugs* That just means more tax on other stuff. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:57 3
      - It hasn't worked out that way so far. Maybe they hit the smokers or something else I don't use/buy. - Krusty Jul 17, 13:01
      - Like hotels for the tourist. Win/win! -- nm - ty97 Jul 17, 12:59 1
        
        I wonder if that's what they did to make up the loss of revenue. -- nm - Krusty Jul 17, 13:02
