Get Ready... Get Set ... Go!  August 8th - 10th is the Sales Tax Holiday for back to school shopping for the school year starting Fall 2014!

The kids are groaning and the parents are smiling.  Get ready to navigate the store aisles and elbow through the crowds.  To make it more fun and less painful, get your lists ready.

To find out what items qualify for this Sales Tax free weekend, go to the State's website here:
http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxpubs/taxholiday/m/

Get your school supply lists in order.  For those with children attending schools in Leander ISD you can find your lists here:

ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

Bagdad
Block House Creek
Cox

If you can't find or print out the lists at these links, many local stores (Walmart, Target, etc.) have a printed copy of your school's supply list posted near their back to school supplies area.

You can comparison shop for the items on your school's official list or you can often find a pre-assembled box or package of supplies.  It isn't necessarily cost efficient and may not match your list exactly but it is quick and easy for those pressed for time.

Good luck bargain shopping and have fun saving money for your back to school shopping!
