My state does a tax-free week for back to school clothes/supplies including electronics (up to a certain amount). Also, a tax-free week for emergency supplies including generators (up to a certain amount). I don't see why tax-free, at least for clothes, couldn't be done more than once a year. Hygiene? IDK, maybe the store brand but I don't think the fancy soaps and stuff should necessarily be tax exempt. That being said, I still think sales tax is more fair than income tax. At least with sales tax I have some control over the amount I pay in taxes.
