Tax Free Weekend!


Mark your calendars!!! Whether your kids want to face the facts or not, the fall school season is quickly approaching. So perhaps you can just buck up and cut yourself another summer break by taking part in your state's (or a neighboring state's) Tax FREE Weekend for some of your Back-To-School needs.

Check out the list below to see which states are participating, and when, and then identify the dollar limits on each item so that you'll know what and how much of it will be tax FREE when you shop. Before you head out, make a list... and be determined to fly in like an early bird to get the best selection of deals. Be sure too, to preview the sales ads in your area and break out your coupons to optimize your savings. Be happy and go get lucky!
