I love that Florida is participating in the Tax Free school shopping weekend again. Florida dates include August 13-15, 2010. During the sales tax holiday, parents and students are not charged taxes on school supplies ($10 or less), clothing, books or footwear ($50 or less). These are per item, so you can buy $200 worth of clothing and not pay tax, but any single item can not exceed $50.

Thanks for the update. It figures that our tax free weekend in NC is the weekend right after my anniversary. Thanks so much for linking up!
Yeah, I’ll be on a boat in the Atlantic when Florida has theirs. Hubby promised me if we need anything I can run into the outlet on our way back home Sunday. “Run In?” Who just runs into an outlet mall.
Sadly, my state is not listed. But thank you for the information – I have never heard of this before! I twittered and facebooked your link – people need to know this stuff
Toni,
What state are you in?
