If you haven’t already stocked up on back-to-school supplies, you may still be able to take advantage of a sales tax holiday.

More than a dozen states are offering tax-free shopping days this summer, temporarily dropping the state sales tax on back-to-school necessities and other items — from clothing to electronics.

Rules and restrictions vary by state, but these tax holidays are popular with parents who have big summer shopping lists.

Shop tax-free for back-to-school supplies

Money expert Clark Howard’s home state of Georgia no longer has a tax-free weekend, but he wasn’t a big fan of it to begin with because some retailers would plan their ads around the holiday and raise their prices.

To save the most money, he says, stick to a list and look for deals all summer long at various retailers. Clark Deals has you covered!

If you’re planning to do some tax-free shopping anyway, check out this list that WalletHub shared with Clark.com. It has the states, dates and items that qualify, but do check for exemptions.

Keep in mind, the dollar value limits are usually for individual items, not the total purchase.

Here’s a list of the states that are holding back-to-school sales tax holidays this summer:
