PLANNING FOR TAX FREE WEEKEND 2023

PLANNING FOR TAX FREE WEEKEND

(updated July 27, 2023)

   Tax free weekend this year is August 11 - 13, 2023.  Here are a few tips to prepare for savings and less stress:

1.  Make a list of what items you want to buy.

2.  After consulting your BUDGET, opt to buy the more expensive items now, such as shoes and coats.  You can buy the less expensive items later, as  you can better afford them.

3.  SHOP early, especially if you have children.  If you are unsure of what size that is required, go to the brick and mortar store you plan to purchase the item from and try the clothes on.  The trick is to go during off-peak shopping hours when there is less traffic.

4.  Purchase a re-loadable visa or master card and fill it with the amount of money your budget will allow.

5.  During the tax-free weekend, shop online.

   You can go to the state comptroller's site to learn what is approved for tax-free purchase:  98-490

   I have spent a lot of time during my years of raising children trying to find ways to reduce my stress.  I hope this will help.
