Shoppers wanting a break on their back to school shopping list should hit the stores this weekend.

Along with the plethora of expected sales, this is also the Annual Sales Tax Holiday.

From today through Sunday, shoppers can avoid paying sales tax on most clothing, footwear and school supplies priced under $100.

The sales tax holiday weekend in Texas has been an annual event since 1999. Shoppers are expected to save an estimated $64.8 million in state and local sales taxes during the sales tax holiday.
