School is just around the corner and it may be a good idea to start your school shopping this weekend.

Friday marks the start of the tax-free shopping holiday this weekend. Computers under $3,500 dollars and computer supplies under $250 dollars will qualify to be tax-free this weekend.

School supplies like pens, pencils, and paper along with clothes and footwear under 100-dollars are also tax-free.

And if you're getting ready for the fall sports season all sporting equipment up to 50 bucks is all tax-free.

But, not every shopper looks forward to the tax-free holiday.

The shopping holiday ends Sunday at midnight.

According to Consumer Reports, last year during the tax-free holiday school shoppers saved an average of 93 dollars.
