The first day of school is just around the corner. For most Georgia families, that means it's time for some back to school shopping. Luckily, Georgia shoppers can shop Friday and Saturday without paying sales tax on most items. The tax-free weekend runs from Friday at midnight to Saturday at midnight. The exemptions apply to purchases made in store and online as long as the purchases are made within the allotted time frame.

The exemption will apply to:
