We generally start to talk about shopping local around the holiday season (which is only 20 weeks away if you're curious), but this weekend is a different sort of holiday. The State of Iowa hosts its annual Sales Tax Holiday Friday & Saturday this week. No sales tax, including local option sales tax, will be collected on clothing or footwear priced under $100, giving you a great excuse to do some shopping this weekend.
I recently saw a sandwich board that said 'Keep your money closer so your community can go further'. Don't miss your opportunity to save some money today and tomorrow while you support our local business community. Additionally, many of our retailers are offering some great back-to-school specials in addition to your tax-free purchases. Check out the tag sale at Phase 2 Consignments, the Under Armour sale at Giggles & Bows, and the backpack sale at the Pioneer Bookshop, just to name a few!
