This weekend is one of the biggest shopping weekend's of the year, Tax Free Weekend! Take advantage of this time to stock up on school supplies and essentials for the kids while their tax free.
Tax Free Weekend is a great way to save, especially if you need to buy big items like computer equipment. Some of the items that will be tax free this weekend are:
Clothing under $100
School supplies under $50
Books under $30
Computers/computer equipment under $750
Paired with all the sales that are circulating for "Back to School Savings", Aubrey Nix from EasternShoreMom.com says you should be able to save a pretty penny on necessities. In addition, you will be able to find Aubrey by the fountains at the Eastern Shore Centre holding her annual "Couponers for a Cause" donation drive.
This year, the drive will benefit Family Promise, a program that helps homeless families in Mobile and Baldwin counties. Many of the items needed by the organization will be tax free this weekend, so it's the perfect time to donate.
You can drop off items at the Eastern Shore Centre Fountains from 10:00am - 5:00pm on Saturday, August 4, 2012, or at Kidz Klozet's Tax Free Weekend sale both Friday and Saturday. Kidz Klozet is located behind Wing's on Airport Blvd. in Mobile.
