This year’s Sales Tax Holiday is Aug. 5 - 7.

Georgia's sales tax holiday as well as some other states allows computers up to $1000. I remember being there for my parents at the time of their holiday and Best Buy looked like they were planning for Black Friday! 4951

This is why I went on Monday and got my kiddos all they needed. You couldn't pay me to be anywhere near a store this weekend or looking for supplies after this weekend. It will be hard to find some stuff after this weekend too 4951
