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

WHY can't Tylenol, Advil or alcohol be part of tax-free weekend. THINK of the workers! Side note..... This will be my last time working tax free weekend. Yay! 4951
