Tax Day Relief at Whole Foods
Today is the final day, folks. Have you finished your taxes yet? Yeah, neither have we. (Math is hard.)
But for all you anal retentive types who, like, know how to balance a checkbook and look at your receipts, Whole Foods can help alleviate some of your tax-day worry. Today they're paying the sales tax on any and all items at Whole Food stores in Nor Cal and Reno. So, basically, now would be the time to purchase that truffle or $160 bottle of balsamic vinegar organic cotton towel you've been eyeing.
Conversely, getting bombed on celery gimlets at Orson is the next nest thing. (Thanks for the tip, Sarah!)

Whoopie! An 8.5% discount!
Was just at San Francisco Soup Company where some young guy said to his friend that you could only file an extension once every ten years, about 4 people in line nearly got whip lash turning around with absolute fear in their eyes. A man saying he was a CPA said it was not the case. I was weak at the knees, panic attack over, turkey chile purchased, back at the office, extension filed.
TurboTax® is an innovation on par with the wheel, running water, electricity, etc.
I wouldn't use this as an excuse to go splurge on an expensive bottle of vinegar since vinegar is a food it doesn't have sales tax.
How about taking off the CRV charges on Earth Day? I need to buy a 36 pack of soda.
truffles and vinegar aren't normally taxed anywho, right?
Kleenex, though, you can save on tax on Kleenex 'n stuff

A celery gimlet? That sounds awful...
Great, I need some beer.
I was just going to post what mushmouth said.
How about some expensive doggie treats or a fun veggie scrubber?
@ ciaran
well, if zeitgeist is more your speed, then, yes, you might find a bit unreal.

nice.
sweet. Thanks WFM, for saving me 40 cents on a 5 buck, 6 ounce box of raspberries.

I love gimlets, but I hate celery. So I'm having trouble with the whole concept of a celery gimlet.
i hear you.
but they are tasty. more sweet than savory.
