In NY we pay 8% tax on non food items. I cannot figure out if we pay tax on the pre-coupon amount or not. I do know that when I shop at CVS, I cannot use my Extra Care Bucks to pay for the portion of the total that is the tax, but now I'm thinking that the tax is actually only on the total after all coupons are take off.

Also, on the P&G Buy $35 get $10 Gift Card....in the past and hopefully still so, you need to only buy $35 worth of items at their original price. I checked the Gillette Fusion at the store tonight...normally $10.99 to $12.99 depending on which one you get. Also, the Venus Embrace is 12.99 . If you buy 2 Fusions and an Embrace, you have your $35 worth of products. Then, these are all on sale and have $4 and $2 Q's.
The deal I'm going to try tomorrow:
Gillette Fusion Power Reg 12.99 20% off = $10.40 - $4Q = $6.40
Gillette Fusion Power Reg 12.99 20% 0ff = $10.40 - $4Q = $6.40
Venus Embrace Reg 12.99, Sale = 7.99 - $2 Q Tripled = 1.99
Total Value $38.97. You spend $14.79, Get back $10 Gift Card by mail.
Final OOP is $4.79

Ooh, that might be worth a trip over the state line. I'd use that mega tripler on the $3 Prilosec coupon. My ad has the 14ct box for $10.99. That would make it $1.99 + tax. How much is tax there and how does it work with coupons? Here in Mass it's 5% and I'd only have to pay on the $1.99.

In my county (pretty sure it is state wide though) tax is PRE manufacturer Q, but POST store Q) so you would pay tax on $4.99 (better than $10.99, but not as great as 1.99) We don't pay tax on meds. Only non-food or prepared foods. Food and meds are tax-free. Out tax rate is 8.75% for non-food stuff, 4.75% for clothing/diapers.

Hope that is a little helpful. Remember that these stores that have this triple Q, get no other doubles normally.

UGH I have that it's ONE triple coupon per family!!! But if I can only use the one, I'll be using my $3 Pampers coupon on an $8.99 Jumbo pack, for FREE!

Here's how my sales tax works in Vermont or at least the way it is supposed to work. If I buy a taxable item that has a regular price of $2.99, is on sale for $1.99 and I have a $.50 Q that the store doubles, then I pay sales tax on $1.49. The rationale behind this is, first you only pay sales tax on a sale price in any store in VT. Second, since the store is paying the double part of the coupon, my state considers that an even lower sale price given by the store on the item, so I don't have to pay sales tax on that part. Third, any Q I have seen states customer must pay all taxes, etc. so I do have to pay tax on the amount prior to the Q being applied. It's a little backward but that's the way it should work.

Hope that wasn't too confusing!
