Parents of school-aged kids in Florida, listen up! You have until the 30th of July to get your back-to-school shopping list ready as the sunny state of Florida is once again (after 3 consecutive years) offering sales tax respite. That's 6% off your budget.
"Clothing and books priced at under $50 will be exempt from taxes, and so will school supplies costing less than $10."
Other items are also exempted from sales tax. Knowing which one is a bit tricky, though.
In any case, just head for the stores and take advantage of what this may mean to your budget.
