Tips for a great Tax Free Weekend from the QUEEN’S!!
Most important knowledge is to know that only clothing items
priced under $100 are tax-free this weekend, and accessories priced under
$50. Sporting equipment like cleats is
exempt from the tax free weekend sales.
Check out the Arkansas Tax Free Exemption Laws before you venture out
this weekend.
Remember in Conway you are saving about 6%…In Little Rock you are
saving 6.5%.
Its so easy to spend a lot on your Childs back to school clothes
because after all we want our kids to look their best. . . .We don’t want you
to spend top dollar on every outfit we want you all to shop smart!! Here are some of the rules Sondra and I have
followed . . . .
Rule number 1: Never buy an item unless you absolutely need it
this weekend. This is important because we want you to remember that there will
be some great Sales around Labor Day, which means that gives you a couple of
more weeks to save and buy more of the things your child needs.
Rule number 2: Some great
ways to save on clothes is to buy from consignment shops, On line Yard sales,
getting items from a family members child who has grown out of them, and of
course EBAY.. EBay is important
because you can target exactly the item you need and compare the price to the consignment
shops or at the department stores and more than likely you will score a great
deal.
Rule number 3: lets move
on to the department store deals. We
don’t want you to pay too much for an item that you need, so your best bet is
to type in to Google each store’s sales ads you plan to shop at . . . Check out
their ads so that if one store has it cheaper then you know to buy it at that
store where the better deal is. Yes;
this will take you about 30 minutes to review but it is soooo worth your time!!!
Rule number 4: Even better go to group on and write down all
of the coupon codes for every store you are planning on attending, trust me
this is so worthy of your time. You will
get a certain dollar amount or percentage off plus what the store is
advertising. Which makes for a great
deal!! This is a stackable savings!!!
Rule Number 5: Know your
stuff. . . Lol . . . Take advantage of
specialized shopping programs. . . Let me give you an example. . . . .Sears
Kidadvantage Program…….
For every $100 you spend on clothing and shoes you will receive a
15% off coupon for your next purchase. . . .The best part is if your child
wears out an item before they grow out of it they will replace the very same
sized item for FREEEE!!
Now we have taught you the Rules that the Queen’s live by. . .
.let me give you a few insights to some of our local popular stores. . .
