We took advantage of having a large rented vehicle, and the sales-tax holiday, to make an IKEA run after lunch. Borderline folly - we are both barely vertical from fatigue from load-out and driving straight thru yesterday. But we have five new bookcases, which are replacements for ones we bought before or shortly after our wedding, which are self-destructing from age and overloading.

Tax holiday?

About once a year, the Governor of Massachusetts declares a weekend without sales tax. Usually it's in August, to help jump-start back to school purchasing. So we saved six percent just by shopping on Sunday, for something we were going to buy anyway.
