Starting at midnight tonight and through the weekend, Alabamians can potentially save a bundle on items for the coming school year – and many items that aren’t just for school.

This is the 15th year the state has conducted its annual sales tax holiday ahead of the school year, which means a savings of 4% in-state sales tax, right off the bat. But more than 300 counties and cities are also participating, which means savings of up to 10% in many locations.

Nancy Dennis, spokesperson for the Alabama Retail Association, said many retailers are holding sales on top of the sales tax holiday, which means even greater savings.
