Each August in Texas we have a Sales Tax Holiday that's helps us all to save a bit of money just before school starts up. 

Not everything is tax free on this weekend, but most clothing, shoes, backpacks under the price of $100 are included. And this year, they are adding to those items many school supplies such as pens and crayons.

For a full list of tax exempt items and more information on this holiday, visit the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts web site:

So mark your calendars, save your money and shop to save in August!
