Save some money - shop on Aug. 11-12

House OK's two-day sales-tax holiday - The Boston Globe

With all the things in this state that need more money (schools, parks, roads, bridges, just to name a few) I don't think the state should be giving up $30 million to $50 million in revenue. But if you want to save 5% on purchases up to $2,500 you can do your shopping on August 11 and 12.
