As of Wednesday it is more expensive to shop in parts of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.
Buy something in Hayward and youre going to get whacked with a 10% sales tax. Take a few steps outside the city limits and the tax is a half cent cheaper.

I noticed early on that the Borders bookstores (when they were in business) had different tax rates based on city location. That influenced my choice of stores to patronize. Lower taxes win if the goods were in stock.
