Connecticut Tax Free Week Is Here — Shop Clothing Tax Free at The Cedar Chest

Connecticut’s Tax Free Week is one of the best shopping events of the year — and at The Cedar Chest Consignments, it’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss.

From Sunday, August 16 through Saturday, August 22, 2026, all men’s and women’s clothing items priced at $300 or under are completely exempt from Connecticut sales tax. That means every blouse, blazer, dress, sweater, and pair of trousers on our floor that falls under that threshold is yours — tax free.

Why Shop The Cedar Chest During Tax Free Week?

At The Cedar Chest, every single piece is one of a kind. We carry curated designer fashion, accessories, and clothing sourced through consignment — which means you’ll find labels and styles you won’t see anywhere else, at prices that already feel like a deal. Add zero sales tax on top of that, and this week becomes one of the smartest times of the year to refresh your wardrobe.

Whether you’re looking for a polished blazer for fall, a transitional dress, or that perfect cable-knit sweater to welcome the season, our floor is full of incredible finds waiting for their next chapter.

What Qualifies?

  • Men’s and women’s clothing items priced at $300 or under per item
  • The exemption applies per item — so multiple qualifying pieces each get the tax break
  • Applies to in-store purchases at The Cedar Chest Consignments in Old Saybrook, CT

Note: The tax exemption is governed by Connecticut state law. Accessories and items over $300 per item are not included in the exemption.

Come In This Week

We’re located at 907 Boston Post Rd, Unit 5, Old Saybrook, CT 06475. Stop in any day August 16–22, take your time browsing, and let yourself find something truly special — completely tax free.

Remember: once a piece is gone, it’s gone. Don’t wait too long.
