Back-to-School shopping kicks into full gear at the beginning of August with the annual tax free holiday across Florida (click here for a complete list of tax-free items). The tax exemption period that runs from Friday, August 3rd, 2018 to Sunday, August 5th, 2018 eliminates both state and county taxes on clothing items under $60 and school supply items under $15.

To maximize your savings, plan ahead on the stores that you will visit and get coupons ready via stores’ websites and social media sites.
Store Coupons and Deals
For example, clothing coupons can be found on the Target app or various deals are available from Kohl’s through its email and app campaigns.
Waterford Lakes Town Center and Orlando International Premium Outlets also have discounts available online.
Facebook Likes
More coupons can be found when you “like” the Facebook pages of your favorite merchant. Gap Brands frequently post deals on their Facebook pages. These sales are often not publicized and available only to consumers that mention them – so don’t forget to do so.
Ask for Discounts
Lastly, put a friendly smile on your face and ask the cashier if there are any additional savings or coupons available. Stores are going to be anxious to reel in consumers during this heavy spending season – the savings are out there and sometimes you just have to ask for them.
Happy Shopping! And Saving!
