Maximize savings during the New Mexico Tax Free Holiday

?

August is here which means back-to-school season has officially begun.

Most families spend upwards of $500 per child on school necessities according to Huntington Bank?s Annual Backpack Index. ??

Starting today, families can save and extra 6-7% off of selected school items. These include school supplies like paper and pencils, clothing, software, and computers under $1000.

Certain department stores are even offering additional coupons to New Mexico residents for shopping at their businesses this weekend. Starting Friday, 3 p.m. to close and Saturday 9 am ? 1 pm, JC Penney offers $10 off purchases of $25 or more on select apparel, shoes and accessories, and $10 haircuts for kids inside JC Penney salons. Kohl?s is offering coupons for an additional $10 off of every $50 spent.

Most stores will hold longer hours in order to accommodate the large crowds of shoppers that are expected to be out, and they recommend shoppers get to the stores early. Sale items tend to sell out quickly due to the holiday.

However, for those who want savings but would rather avoid crowds, the tax free incentive is also extended to online shopping.

JC Penney has two locations in Albuquerque, one Coronado Center and one at the Cottonwood Mall.

Kohl?s has three locations in Albuquerque, one at the Coronado Center, one located at 6800 Holly Ave NE, and one location on the Westside at 3715 Ellison Rd NW.
