Florida's tax free week was the last week of July. The kids have been back to school for a week already.

Texas does have a high sales tax, so it was worth going, but the crowds were horrible. We dashed into a shoe store (shoes being some of the more expensive items) on 7.30 pm Sunday night for my eldest's shoes. (Mall closed at 8.)
Had there been one on computers I would've deffo hit the Apple Store.

Oh but we must not forget the Free yes Free School bus's, which I will not be letting my 4 year old go on the school buses that i see are empty coz the parents take the kids in their huge gas guzzling suv's...cut out the bus or restrict them to the rural routes and use the money for soap and books for the kids
