Tax-Free Weekend Savings

This past weekend was tax-free shopping weekend in Massachusetts and did I take advantage of it by planning for these two days about a month ago. If you are not familiar with this state-wide initiative, the state government granted shoppers a 2-day tax free weekend for purchases up to $2,500.

I was able to save about $21.50 by avoiding the traditional 5% state sales tax in connection with a $30 coupon savings. Last year, we purchased our couch during this same weekend, saving hundreds.

I will be adding this $51.50 into my net worth account. If you are aware of any other opportunities to save money on everyday purchase please feel free to comment.
