and later next to Oregon border.

Where we live in Ala not only is there 10% tax on everything but prescriptions, our lil town is so far away from any city that prices are 20% higher here than in , say, Mobile.
Unfortunately, we are not that close to any shopping in a tax free state. So it is 232 mile round trip and takes most of day to shop in Mobile or even in tax free Pensacola.
Internet helps tho.
