TAX-FREE Yippee! Tax-free day starts on Friday, August 1 and goes through Sunday,August 3. This is a great time to buy all those school supplies and school clothes. I had so much fun last year buying during this time! I just felt like I was getting a great deal! You know human nature tells us we have to get a good deal. Last year, I found one store that would hold my items until the weekend and that way I got first pick and really didn't have to get in the crowd. It was nice. It wasn't charged until the tax-free day.
Save your bucks this weekend so you will have plenty to spend. Of course, I like any other human doesn't like to pay 9%, but I have seen the tax money put to use and I enjoy it every morning on my way to work/school at the new intersection/stoplight right down from my house. Makes it a whole lot easier to get to where I need to be. Anyway, this is a great time to save that change.
You can go to the following website for a detailed list of exempt and non-exempt items: www.revenue.alabama.gov/salestax/SalesTaxHol.htm When you get there click on "Sales Tax Holiday Quick Reference Sheet of Exempt Items" and it will get you started on your list.
I'm sure stores will start having sales, so just beware and plot your plan of action for the weekend. Don't forget to refuel at one of the numerous eating establishments in Dothan.
Happy Tax-Free Holidays!
