As the dog days of summer hit and students begin dreading the inevitable return to school, many states offer tax-free weekends or holidays to encourage shopping (and help out people whose financial situation is shaky).
While August 4 through 6 is the most popular time frame among the states that observe this tradition, it varies widely (so be sure to check your state’s dates, if the savings are offered there). While the focus is often on school supplies and clothing, those in the market for a new Apple device can also find noteworthy savings.
