2016 Tax Free Weekend

The Mommies Reviews

before Charlie and I begin to get ready for 3rd Grade I knew we would need School Supplies and Back Packs and          Lunch Kits. Because even though were homeschooling Charlie, we will be taking Field Trips to our school. Join me for 2016 Tax Free Weekend. Let’s go shopping together because it’s always more fun to shop with a friend.

As I get ready to shop and purchase the supplies, we need I am trying to wait until “Tax-Free Weekend.” I have been putting money back so we can get the supplies we need while we can save money. It doesn’t matter if your children are in public school, private school or are homeschooling as Charlie is there are supplies you will need. So why not take advantage of “Tax-Free Weekend” and get the supplies you need when you can save money on them.
