Ha-Ha! I know what you mean... sales tax here is 6% so basically for me it means tax free. :0 Thanks for the congrats.
Fusion - I got $9000 to start. I'm going to hit the luv button on day 61.
Nice! Are you going to ask for 3x the limit?
I'd go full $25k what's the worse they can say?

8% sales tax? Where are you located?
Your grocery is taxed??
Don't know where pizzadude lives, but Tennessee taxes groceries at the full rate. 
Terribly unfair on those whose money is tight. It's one thing to decide whether or not to buy a 3D TV, but everyone has to eat.

You're joking?!
I've NEVER heard of any taxes on foods bought at a supermarket. That is terribly unfair.

Very true. In MA groceries and precription drugs are exempt from the 6.25% sales tax which works out good when using the 3% cashback on groceries on the BCE AMEX

The only food that;s taxed at a groceries is if its prepared food. For example, you buy lobster but have them steam it there then they charge you the 6.35% since it was prepared there. There is a reason its called Taxachusetts 
Wow! I wish I lived in a state that doesn't charge tax at grocery stores, I'm in Hawaii & we're taxed on everything!
Starting Score: 580

Actually, I'd like some clarification on this. What is the worst thing that could happen? I certainly don't want to have another FR.... Ha-Ha! Not that it'd matter, but geeezz, once is enough. I'll probably go for the $25K anyway.
Also, some clarification.... FL doesn't charge tax on food either sooooo, I'm a dumby. I guess it's just a nice 6 cent on the dollar bonus!

I know what you mean! When I used to live in CA I didn't have to be concerned about tax for food but living in TN it's almost 10%
