Tax Free Weekend

So, the Texas tax-free weekend is this weekend, August 21-23. Clothes, shoes and school supplies under $100 are exempt from state sales tax. I'm excited because the list of exempt items includes baby clothes and diapers - woohoo! Now, don't get all crazy, it only amounts to an 8.25% discount, but combined with the sales a lot of retailers will be having, it definitely makes a big difference. Be prepared -- it's going to be a madhouse out there. Last year, I dragged my husband to the outlet malls in San Marcos on tax free weekend - I still don't think he's forgiven me, and I'm shuddering just recalling that horrific experience. Go early. Wear elbow pads. You'll be fine. Good luck out there.
