It’s that time of year again to start that back-to-school shopping spree.
Back-to-school shopping is one of the biggest shopping seasons for most retail stores. Some states like Maryland and South Carolina just to name a few like to help their fellow residents out by giving them what they call a tax-free holiday weekend. 16 states are participating in this tax-free holiday weekend, which means you won’t have to pay sales tax on certain items purchased. For the other states that choose not to participate, I would assume that their thought on this tax-free holiday weekend didn’t sound to economically appealing.
Having 16 states that are participating in this tax-free holiday gives you the option to cross your state borders and go shopping, so there is no need to worry.
Do you know when your state’s 2019 tax-free weekend starts? Well, below you’ll find the information needed to prepare your day for shopping. There are links to the “Deal News” page for each state to give you more info if needed. Do your research on lay-a-ways, online shopping and using discount coupons in combination with this tax-free holiday weekend.
Happy Shopping!
