It won't be long before the kids are headed back to school and if you can manage to get hold of their school supply list before they actually return, it could save you quite a bit.
With school starting next week in Bossier Parish and the following week in Caddo we all have a chance to get our back to school clothes a little cheaper courtesy of the state of Louisiana.
Hunters and campers pay no sales tax on ammo and supplies this weekend. This is a chance to save especially if you have been planning a big purchase such as an off-road vehicle like an atv or side by side. There are some restrictions, though.
Start scratching down your back to school lists our state tax free weekend is coming up August 5th and 6th. Local taxes will still apply, but you can load up on clothes, uniforms, educational equipment and school supplies during the two day 4% state tax hiatus.
