There are many states and cities that offer tax free weekends to help parents with back to school items. If you live in one of the states listed in the link below you just might want to schedule your shopping trip for that weekend. It could save you some money depending on the state and what is purchased.
Please be aware that the savings may be minimal and you might do better looking for the good sales instead. Many stores are pushing the back to school supplies now so don’t wait until the last minute to shop.
