A Guide To Best Hidden Deals For Alabama’s Tax Free Weekend
Don’t Forget the “Hidden” Deals During Alabama’s Tax-Free Weekend! Believe it or not, there are plenty to be found.
This weekend, Alabama shoppers have one more reason to smile. It’s the annual (and popular) Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday! While most people think of backpacks, notebooks, and pencils, there are actually quite a few tax-free treasures that often fly under the radar.
If you’re planning to shop anyway, it’s worth taking a second look at your list. You might be surprised by what’s included.
Need new clothes? Many everyday clothing items that fall within the price limit qualify, including pajamas, slippers, raincoats, belts, gloves, aprons, uniforms, and even lab coats. It’s a great opportunity to stock up on basics you’ll wear long after the school bell rings.
If you’re the creative type, this weekend is also perfect for refreshing your craft room. Artist canvases, paint brushes, modeling clay, poster board, foam presentation boards, calligraphy pens, composition books, dictionaries, protractors, rulers, dry-erase markers, and those often pricey name-brand requirements like scientific calculators are all among the items many shoppers don’t realize can qualify.
Working from home? This is also a smart time to pick up office essentials like notebooks, file folders, binder clips, sticky notes, printer paper, and other qualifying school and office supplies. Even certain computers, printers, and computer accessories may be eligible if they meet the program’s requirements.
Whether you’re sending kids back to school, outfitting a home office, tackling a creative project, or simply replacing everyday essentials, Alabama’s tax-free weekend is a great chance to save a little money.
So before you head to the checkout line this weekend, give your shopping list one last glance. Those “little extras” you almost forgot could end up being some of the biggest bargains of all!
