Tax Free weekend starts Friday! Ms. Cheap tells us ways you can save on school supplies and more this weekend!
A Few Tips for Tax Holiday Weekend Shopping
• Think ahead of items you may need in the coming year whether it be a computer, new running shoes or an outfit for a special occasion. Do your research and make a list so you will be ready when the weekend arrives.
• Consider buying school supplies. They make good stocking stuffers, especially when you can get them at great discounts like the ones many retailers offer on this tax-free weekend.
• Review the flyers and check websites of retailers for deals on items you want to buy before you hit the stores.
• Before buying, double-check to be sure the items you are buying are exempt and fall under the stated thresholds of $100 or $1,500. The tntaxholiday.com website has a list of exempt items and non-exempt items.
• Know that while some retailers reduce prices to make their items come in under the $100 threshold to be eligible, be aware that sometimes tricky retailers mark up only to mark down. Buyer beware!
• Keep your receipts in case you want to return something.
