Nuf Said … August is one of the best months to purchase necessities like clothing, shoes, school supplies, hurricane preparedness items and sometimes even appliances!   Eighteen States have weeks or weekends during the month of August when you can purchase these essentials without paying sales tax which saves you bundles!

Some states have a maximum cost for an item to be considered tax free and this information I found on taxadmin.org which is available by clicking this link.  Here is your info on States as I found:
