The very good news is the Back-To-School Sale tax Holiday begins Friday, August 1st. The even better news is that it last for the full month, so take the list along and fill a cart - and help a teacher if you can.

Now, about the Hurricane Sales Tax holiday. Also starting tomorrow, you can shop tax free BUT this is now going to be a permanent event for certain supplies, so check this out as well. It’s not a reason to wait, but a good reason to take advantage of this when you have the means.
