South Carolina’s annual Tax Free Weekend kicks off Friday, Aug. 1 and runs through Sunday, Aug. 3 — giving you 72 hours to snag eligible items (think: school-year essentials) without paying state or local sales tax.
Here’s what’s tax-free (regardless of price), whether new or used, and even for online purchases delivered into SC. Pro tip: We also found the FAQs helpful if we weren’t sure about something being tax-free.
Though this is a great excuse for a Target run or finally buying that new laptop from Best Buy, it’s also a reason to head to shop local.
Here are a few spots we love with eligible items:
- Clothes | Vann and Liv + Kid to Kid
- School supplies | Dear Greenville
- Musical instruments | Pecknel Music
Bonus: Saturday, Aug. 2 is also Stationery Store Day. Double dip with giveaways and shopping specials at shops like Dear Greenville and Page & Post.
