Weekend Savings: Tax Free Shopping Days

Have you ever looked at your receipt and thought, “Gosh, look at how much tax I had to pay!” Well, this weekend, if you live in New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri and Tennessee, you won’t have to think that if you buy some of the items that are tax free eligible. In honor of back to school, many stores in many states are offering back to school type items tax free. Some of the items offered are clothes, computers, school supplies and small appliances. You don’t have to be going back to school to cash in on these items either!

Besides not having to pay tax on these items, many stores are having big sales! You’ll have to check your local paper for details on this.

How to Save Big This Weekend

If you are in the market for a new computer, this is the weekend to save on one. Tax can cost you a lot when you purchase a new computer, especially an expensive one. Just make sure to call around and check on any additional sales you can find on the computer you want. Many places like Best Buy will match competitor’s prices, so look into that as well.

Additional Savings

Georgia is offering energy and water efficient products tax free. West Virginia is offering some Energy Star products for tax-free as well.
