Mrs Fields Sales-Tax-Free Shopping

Centsible's Sales Tax Free Shopping Series

Mrs. Fields Only Charges Sales Tax For Orders Shipping to Utah

Mrs. Fields Cookies offers sales tax savings for anyone who will be delivering their package outside of Utah. All orders shipping to addresses outside of Utah DO NOT have sales tax applied to them.

How much savings does this mean and what are the shipping charges?

Depending on the state you live in, your state sales tax savings are between 1% (Illinois food sales tax) and 5.5% (Tennessee food sales tax).* Standard delivery for Mrs. Fields gifts depends on the method of shipment requested and your delivery location, with Utah addresses being delivered by standard shipping within 1 to 3 business days and Eastern / Southern addresses taking between 4 to 6 days to arrive.Mrs. Fields deliveries are really good for gift-giving rather than just buying them for yourself though: the shipping charges are per item based on the price of each item and range from $6.95 to $31.95. If you are thinking of sending a gift of Mrs. Fields cookies though, you CAN actually send something substantial for under $30 with shipping included.

Be sure to check out Centsible's full online review of Mrs. Fields Cooking Online Shopping Experience for full details. For part 2 in the series, tomorrow we'll be reviewing Starbucks online shopping sales tax breaks.

Hickory Farms Clearance - Up To 75% Off

January Holidays such as birthdays, congratulations gifts, housewarmings, anniversaries or just 'thinking of you' or 'thank you' gifts can be had at Hickory Farms at discounts of up to 75%! We can't imagine these products will stay around for long at these ridiculously low prices.

One fantastic thing you could do is lift up someone's spirits overseas if you have an active-duty military family member. Hickory Farms always offers free shipping to APO/FPO addresses. Not all food items from Hickory Farms can ship overseas to military addresses. In order to ensure your package can get there, Hickory Farms makes it easy by offering an 'APO/FPO Collection' of suitable gifts.

Examples of some of the deals you can get on packaged gift boxes and sets are the: Family Get-Together Gift Box(pictured at right) for $12.50 (regularly $50), the Home For The Holidays Gift Box for $12.50 (regularly $50), the Travelling Snacker for $22.50 (regularly $45), the All Day Celebration Gift Box for $18.75 (regularly $75), the Sausage & Cheese Slicer Gift Board for $8.75 (regularly $35) and the Hickory Farms Perfect Picnic Basket for $13.75 (regularly $55).

When buying things a la carte, you can get even more savings. Would you believe you can order the Chocolate Collection for just $5 (regularly $20), the Hickory Farms Dried Fruit Collection for $8.75 (regularly $35) or a Chocolate-Dipped Pretzel Stick Collection for $3.75 (regularly $15)?!

The main cost to figure in when shopping this online holiday food clearance from Hickory Farms is your shipping expense. If you're not in a hurry, go for standard shipping, which will get your order to you in between 3 to 7 days. Hickory Farms bases its shipping cost on the merchandise dollar amount of your order. Orders totalling less than $10 will ship standard for $5.99. Until your order hits $50, shipping will increase by $2 with every $10 price range ($7.99 for orders up to $19.99, $9.99 for orders up to $29.99, $11.99 for orders up to $39.99 and $13.99 for orders up to $49.99). After that, the shipping price increases by $2 and then $3 for each price increment, with the price ranges now spanning $15 ($50 - $64.99 orders ship for $15.99 and $50 - $79.99 orders ship for $18.99). Orders between $80 and $99.99 ship for $20.99. Orders of $100 or more ship for 22% of the merchandise total of your order.

The percentage charged for shipping obviously decreases with the more you spend. Even still though, say you were to purchase the Turkey Hickory Sampler on sale for $3.75 (regularly priced $15), your order would total less than $10 and carry a shipping charge of $5.99. That would put the total (including shipping) cost of your order at $9.74! I think its time to start shopping..
