Reply to comment by mouse6502 in Uniqlo is coming to the Newport mall - Apple should come as well by coliji

Sales taxes are lower in NJ, especially if in an urban enterprise zone like JC.

It’s a decent savings when you’re spending $1-2k on something, which is why I try to buy Apple stuff at Best Buy in JC versus going to one of the Apple stores in NYC.

If you want real savings, shop at target with a Target branded card. You will get the standard 5% discount, plus the lower sales tax, for an equivalent 10.8% discount.

You can also take it a step further by shopping at the Microcenter in Paterson. 5% discount on their card + just 3.5% sales tax.

Sure, but can you also get Legos, milk, and makeup while you pick up the latest Apple gadget at Microcenter? ;)

Targets pricing more than incorporates those saving for everything except it’s own house brands and clothing. You’ll still do better pricing on Amazon every day of the week regardless of sale. Targets business model is impulse purchases.
