here are a LOT of our personal discretionary dollars that leave our state because we're trying to save the 9.25% fee that is tacked on top of whatever we purchase.
Technically according to state law you owe sales tax on goods purchased outside the state as well--as long as you are using them within the state of Tennessee.

TBI, you can move along now. :-D
