watercooler54 Why don't you quit attacking mandy1020. I for one thinks she is making good sense with her comments. I work at Baldor and my wife and I do all our shopping in Fort Smith. We have 3 children to feed and the savings we see in our grocery bill from not paying the high sales tax that Sallisaw has compared to Fort Smith is tremendous. If we spend $400.00 for groceries in Fort Smith that means that we saved $20.00 in sales tax compared to what we would have spent if we had bought the same amount of groceries in Sallisaw and paid Sallisaws high sales tax on groceries. I admire mandy1020 for her intelligence on how to manage money and I would also encourage everyone else to do their grocery shopping in Fort Smith and manage their money wisely. Sallisaw had the same option as Fort Smith to do away with sales tax on groceries and the city officials voted it down. It would not have cost the city of Sallisaw one red cent to do away with the sales tax on groceries because the state would have reimbursed the city for any loss in revenue. So again I will say that I would encourage anyone that wants to spend their money wisely to shop in Fort Smith for groceries.
