Topic.


You buy something for $200, and after tax it ends up being $215. Someone thinks what you bought is really cool and asks how much it is.

do you say $200 or $215?

I usually say whichever price I happen to remember and whether or not that's before or after tax.

Sometimes it's even different depending on the county within the state. So yeah, I'll just give you the base price and if really need the price after tax you can work that out for yourself.

If I'm getting something expensive I shop in a state without sales tax. My TV would have been $150 more in the state I live in
