Arkansas's tax-free weekend is coming up. What deals can you get?

Arkansas's tax-free weekend is scheduled for August 2 and 3, offering significant savings on clothing, school supplies, and computers. Most standard school supplies like binders and calculators will be exempt from sales tax, while certain items, including clothing over $100 and jewelry, will not qualify. Groceries are also excluded from this tax exemption. Eligible school supplies include a wide range of items such as crayons, notebooks, and art supplies. In contrast, school instructional materials and computer supplies will not benefit from the tax holiday.

This initiative is part of an annual tradition in several states to support families during the back-to-school shopping season. Arkansas residents are urged to take advantage of this opportunity to save on essential purchases. The tax-free weekend not only alleviates financial burdens but also promotes local retail activity.
