Reason for the Big Hole in My Wallet

Tax-free shopping week in New York begins today. Aiee! Must. Restrain. Myself. NYC.gov lists what is exempt (and not) from tax.
Clothing, footwear, fabric, thread, yarn, buttons, zippers, neckties, scarves, hats, uniforms, athletic clothing, and diapers are all exempt from sales tax during these periods.

However, jewelry and watches, handbags, umbrellas, pet clothing, and sports equipment are not exempt during these periods.
Some of the items on the taxable and non-taxable lists are odd. Who knew that zippers and diapers fell into the tax exempt category?

Must object to the handbags remaining on the taxable list -- they are a very necessary component of one's outfit, you know.
