Tax Free Weekend Starts July 27

Tax Free Weekend starts on July 27 and you can expect stores to be crowded. We wanted to know what is worth braving those crowds.

The list of tax exempt items includes school supplies, clothing and even things like diapers that are 100 dollars or less.

Experts say you won't save much on school supplies unless you're planning on buying a tablet or computer. In fact, sometimes stores like Office Max or Staples will have items on sale that will offer bigger discounts later on.

Wedding gowns, prom dresses and tuxedos will also be tax exempt but fall under the 100 dollars or less rule.
