Mall of New Hampshire: Tax free...but hiked prices!

On our tour of New England we would be driving through New Hampshire, and as we had heard the state was a sales-tax-free one, we thought it might be a good place to get some video games we had been thinking about.

We went to the Mall of New Hampshire, which was a nice mall. But we noticed that many of the prices were high compared to out-of-state shops, apparently to compensate for the sales tax or something.

Also, be aware that there is still sales tax on any 'service' such as food court meals.

The New England Sampler: Local crafts and reasonable prices

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

The Sampler is a quiet little shop just off Elm St. The store is simple and straightforward - almost dull - but the most desireable of local wares are carried, and priced right.

What to buy: The usual suspects are available: maple syrup, pancake mix, postcards, and the like. However, I found hard-to-come-by Salmon Falls napkin rings for my sister and my Mom's favorite jams, to boot(Stone Kitchen). Whereas other shops are laced with foreign-made crafts designed to look "rural", the Sampler carries the real deal.

What to pay: Cheap compared to most.
