Some states have embraced the sales tax holiday with a wide range of categories.
Some states have embraced the sales tax holiday with a wide range of categories.
 — Your state may be celebrating a holiday soon, and you may not even know about it. In the coming weeks, states across the US and Puerto Rico will feature a sales-tax-free period so you can save some money while shopping.
Each state has different days that it has designated as tax-free, and each has its own set of categories, along with limits for them.

Most states have clearly targeted the back-to-school crowd, as clothing, computers and school supplies are most commonly found among the categories. Most categories generally have a per-item limit, but that too varies by state.
Some states have embraced the sales tax holiday with a wide range of categories, while others are doing the bare minimum by offering only items such as Energy Star products.
Of course, if you live in Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire or Oregon, none of this applies to you, as those states do not have sales tax.
So, if you missed out on Amazon Prime Day, check the list below or check an online chartto see when and how you can save.

Japanese boneless chicken recipes

 Yakitori-Style Zucchini With Scallions and  Salmon Yakitori is a Japanese dish where boneless chicken pieces prepared with salt (shio) and a soy seasoning sauce (tare) are strung onto bamboo sticks and barbecued over a charcoal fire. This weeknight feast acquires the kinds of conventional yakitori and applies it to salmon and vegetables. A pungent sweet sauce of soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, garlic and ginger serves as a coating and serving sauce. Prepared with greens, the extra salmon and vegetables make a decent serving of mixed greens the following day, and the sauce keeps in the cooler for as long as seven days. Brush it onto chicken or pork cleaves prior to broiling, or use it to prepare your next wipe out-the-cooler singed rice. INGREDIENTS   ¼ cup canola oil, plus more for greasing 1 tablespoon minced garlic (from about 3 cloves) 1 tablespoon minced ginger (from a 1-inch piece) ⅔ cup low-sodium soy sauce ⅓ cup turbinado sugar 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar 2 t...

Raspberry Macarons

  Raspberry Macarons Time : About 2 ½ hours, plus at least 24 hours chilling These macarons' recipe include a little amount of finely chopped freeze-dried raspberries, which lends an unexpected tart fruitiness. Just keep in mind that it can also encourage the shells to brown very rapidly, so if the first batch starts to get a little golden, lower the oven's temperature for the second batch by around 25 degrees. Also try the Chocolate Macarons  INGREDIENTS Yield: 23 macarons FOR THE BATTER 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons/130 grams confectioners’ sugar ¾ cup/85 grams superfine blanched almond flour ½ cup/14 grams freeze-dried raspberries Lemon wedge (optional), for cleaning bowl 3 large egg whites (90 grams), at room temperature ½ teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) 6 tablespoons/75 grams granulated sugar Red gel food coloring (optional) FOR THE FILLING 4 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Pinch of kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) ⅓  ...

How to prepare Skillet Chicken With Black Beans, Rice and Chiles

  Skillet Chicken With Black Beans, Rice and Chiles TIME: 1 hour  This authentic one-pot marvel of chicken, black beans, rice, tomatoes, and chiles, adapted from Diana Henry's "From the Oven to the Table: Simple Dishes That Look After Themselves," will please everyone at the table. The cumin-infused rice soaks up all the luscious juices as the chicken thighs roast. The rice and chicken are both nicely cooked when the timer goes off. Use a 12-inch skillet for this recipe; any other size could lead to undercooked or overdone chicken or rice. If you have any leftovers, they taste fantastic in tacos or enchiladas. INGREDIENTS Yield: 4 to 6 servings 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs Flaky sea salt and black pepper 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or peanut oil 1 large yellow or white onion, chopped 2 green or red bell peppers, halved, seeded and sliced 2½ cups chicken stock 2 red Fresno chiles or jalapeños, halved, seeded and chopped 1(3-inch)  cinnamon stick, broken in ha...

RECIPES 2   (14-ounce) packages silken tofu, drained 2   tablespoons neutral oil, such as grapeseed 2   shallots, peeled and minced 3   garlic cloves, peeled and sliced 1   (1-inch) piece ginger, scrubbed and grated 3   tablespoons red curry paste 1   (14-ounce) can cherry tomatoes or fresh cherry tomatoes 1   quart vegetable stock 1   (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk   Salt ¼   cup soy sauce   Freshly ground black pepper 1 ½   cups mixed fresh herbs, such as cilantro...
