Shop ALABAMA & Shop SMALL this Sales Tax Holiday Weekend!

It's hard to believe that it's almost time to go back to school! This weekend, August 2-4, the states of Alabama and Florida have declared a sales tax holiday on certain items that students may need to head back to school. 


Eagle Eye Outfitters encourages our customers to shop small this year. By shopping and eating at local independent businesses, 2-3 times more money goes back into your local economy than it would if you spent your dollars at chain shops and restaurants.

And, since Florida's sales tax holiday falls on the same weekend as Alabama's, here are a few reasons to shop ALABAMA for back to school.


Why shop ALABAMA? 


  • Clothing:
    • ALABAMA: tax exempt up to $100 per item
    • Florida: tax exempt up to $75 per item
  • School Supplies:
    • ALABAMA: tax exempt up to $50 per item
    • Florida: tax exempt up to $15 per item
  • Books:
    • ALABAMA: tax exempt up to $30 per book
    • Florida: not exempt
  • Computers
    • Both states: tax exempt up to $750
