Some states, like Connecticut, limit the savings to specific items like footwear and clothing. In others, like Massachusetts, the tax-free weekend might be the perfect time to make a larger purchase, like a printer for your home, since most purchases under $2,500 are eligible there.<\/p>\n<p>Just be sure to read the fine print\u2014many of these states do specify that school supplies are eligible, but not all. Also, keep in mind that you don\u2019t have to live in a state to take advantage of sales. If you happen to border a tax-free weekend state, you can enjoy the savings in both states.<\/p>\n<h4>Where can I shop?<\/h4>\n<p>Most large retailers will also be participating, which means you can shop online tax-free if you live in a state with a tax-free weekend.
