The cost of school supplies can really add up, but there's some help on the way.
Texas Tax-Free Weekend runs Friday through Sunday, offering parents a chance to save a few bucks while stocking up on back-to-school essentials.
Over the course of the next three days, the state anticipates Texans will avoid paying $87 million in sales taxes.
Many retailers are marking down popular items to lure you through their doors, which means even bigger savings in many cases.
"Partnered with the great prices we already have and different sales we have going on, deducting the taxes off helps," said Richard Johnson, Target Texarkana, Human Resources.
The law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced below $100 from sales tax.
