Or if there is, it's built into the price and you never have to pay extra at the check out!

Unknown said...: Yeah we do. It's called GST (goods and services tax) and I think it's still 10% on pretty much everything that classes as goods or services. And yes, it's included in the shelf price and handled automatically by the retailer.

P.S. Get a new layout; this one is making my brain bleed.; January 2, 2010 at 12:40 AM
KIM said...: Isn't that what I said -- it's built into the price??

p.s. Get a good doctor.; January 2, 2010 at 7:59 AM
Mom said...: I think I agree with Garry with 2 Rs that I liked the other format better. This one is not quite as hard on my brain as it is on his, but the other one seemed easier to read. Maybe I just need to get used to it.; January 2, 2010 at 9:33 AM
Mom said...: 10% is a pretty steep tax. Good thing it is built in, so you don't realize it. We think ours is high at 6%.; January 2, 2010 at 9:35 AM
KIM said...: It would be easier to read if I could get the spacing to behave ... it's just so much beach-ier this way, though!; January 2, 2010 at 9:41 AM
Mom said...: Spacing seems better now. It was that left margin that had been too close to the edge.; January 3, 2010 at 4:25 PM
KIM said...: Hmm, not sure why, but that's good!; January 3, 2010 at 4:29 PM
