Last Minute Christmas Sales in Milwaukee

Every year I do the same thing, I am not alone, putting off Christmas shopping until the last minute. I ended up getting my Fiance a pair of diamond ear rings. When I was paying for the jewelry it really hit home how silly it is to not buy gifts online. Tax – oh man, the tax. I am not going to say how much the earrings were but I could have gone out and had a very nice dinner for two with the amount I paid for the sales tax.

Its probably too late to get any last minute gifts online and have them for Christmas morning, but times are tough right now so if you are buying a big ticket item like a TV or high end electronics, not only will you find a better price online – you can save big bucks on the sales tax. It’s important to remember that if a business has a presence in your state – you will get charged tax. BestBuy.com is  a good example of a site to avoid.Personally I buy almost everything from Amazon.

I had to go to Target yesterday to buy a gift for a kid. I ended up getting him the Star Wars Jedi Mind Trainer – seems really cool. For a recluse like myself, it was hellish navigating through the crowds. Again, I noticed the tax. I braved the mall yesterday – again, more crowds. If you came to this page looking for last minute gifts and sales, sorry, wrong place. I can’t help you with that. If the recipients of your gifts can wait an extra couple days, save the money and the headache and shop online.
