Save around 6% in some states by shopping on designated tax free shopping days. Here in Iowa, there are tax free days to buy clothes and school supplies in the fall during back-to-school shopping season. All clothes and office supplies are included, so this is a great time to stock up on all sorts of supplies. Stores continue to offer coupons and discounts since the 6% savings comes from the state government, not out of the store’s profits.
It is nice to get an extra 6% off on top of any coupons and deals that you can find. The downside of shopping on tax free day is that there are big crowds of people shopping. See if your state has a tax free shopping day you can use to save some money.
