During the weekend, clothing and school supplies priced at $100 or less, as well as computers priced at $1,500 or less, will be tax-free. The savings apply to both online and in-store purchases. General apparel that costs $100 or less per item, such as shirts, pants, socks, shoes, dresses will be exempt. School and art supplies with a purchase price of $100 or less per item, like binders, backpacks, crayons, paper, pens, pencils, and art supplies will also be exempt.
