It's hard to believe back to school season is already in session, and yet here we are talking about school sales tax holidays.
If you're not familiar with this trend, certain states will suspend sales tax during a short window of time on specific items children need for the new school year (such as clothing, electronics and school supplies).
Is it worth traveling to one of these state to take advantage of the sales tax holiday if your state isn't offering one? We'll leave that decision up to you - but when you consider that things like computers and laptops also can be tax-exempt, the deal looks a lot sweeter!
