  6. Lydia

    AKA “Stay home weekend” for me here in northern VA! The crowds are awful here!

  7. Amy

    In Illinois, kohls is free

  8. Me

    In CA they don’t really have the free tax day, but this weekend Kohl’s is giving an extra 10% off this weekend in recognition of free tax day. So far they are the only ones I know doing it out here (8/4 – 8/6) which can be used in conjunction with other Kohl’s discounts/coupons. FYI to anyone in CA that’s interested…..

    • Amorris

      Is there a code? I have stuff in my cart and so far it’s charging me tax (riverside California )

  9. Jamie

    So no NC?

  10. Lilianna

    I made purchases Friday morning from both Kohl’s and WalMart online and both were tax free online. Ohio mailing.

    I live in Iowa and they advertise this everywhere. Honestly I don’t get too excited about it. The sales aren’t that great and since I’m always looking for deals, I buy my kids clothing at garage sales, year round clearance/sales and hand me downs from friends. Clothing is the only thing here you can buy tax free this weekend. Maybe if it were additional things I might get more excited!
