Tax-free weekend kicks off in time for back to school
Special to the Villager?
Shop Tax Free Weekend: Tax Free Weekend kicks off statewide August 15-17. The law exempts most clothing and footwear priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend. Backpacks under $100 and used by elementary and secondary school students are also exempt.
Make a List and Stick to It: Get organized before leaving the house by making a list of must-have items. Categorize items by wants and needs – don’t sway! Take stock of what is already in the closet. Can that blue long sleeve shirt be paired with a new item? Be sure to buy only what is needed.
