Back to School Shopping Tips for the Tax-Free Holiday
The fine folks at the Better Business Bureau were kind enough to put together a list of shopping tips for our readers for the Sales Tax Holiday coming up this weekend. For those who might be partaking of the Tax-Free weekend for the first time, and even for shopping veterans, some of the tips are invaluable. Be sure to take a close look before you shop because "Back-to-School" sales don't always mean you're making the most of your money.
