Get your shopping lists ready, because the annual Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday is here for the entire month of August! From Friday, August 1, to Sunday, August 31, you can save some serious cash by skipping the state's sales tax on essential school items. It's the perfect time to stock up on everything your kids need without the extra cost.

Here’s a breakdown of what you can grab tax-free:

• Clothing & Accessories: Grab clothing, footwear, wallets, and backpacks that are $100 or less per item.

• School Supplies: Stock up on calculators, pens, notebooks, glue, and more—all tax-free if the sales price is $50 or less per item.

• Tech & Gadgets: Need a new laptop or a tablet? Personal computers, laptops, tablets, monitors, and related software are tax-exempt if they cost $1,500 or less and are for noncommercial, personal use.

• Brainy Fun: Even learning can be tax-free! Items like flashcards, memory games, puzzle books, and stacking blocks are included, as long as they are $30 or less each.

So go ahead, fill your shopping carts and enjoy the savings! Your wallet will thank you.
