Me in the kitchen showing off my new outfit. The top - believe it or not - cost me $2.70 including sales tax. Due to different States having their own laws, etc. they all have their own sales tax which is not included in the price of any item you buy. It is added at the till when you pay. Here in Florida the sales tax is 7%. Not too bad. In Orange Beach the sales tax is 11% due to all the Hurricane damage.
