💰 Money Moves — Pro Tips
🧥
Buy ahead for fall & winter
Coats, boots, gloves — all tax-free now. Buy in July instead of paying full tax in October.
📏
Size up on purpose
Grab the next size up in shoes and basics. Kids grow into them, you avoid paying tax later.
📱
Online purchases count!
Both states include online orders. Shop from the couch if stores are packed.
💳
Stack everything you can
Tax-free + sale + coupon + RedCard 5%. Save that Target teacher 20% for the biggest trip.
🙋♀️
Don't forget yourself!
Adult clothes, shoes, and work gear all qualify. You deserve new socks too.
🍼
Diapers = clothing in Alabama
Stock up for months during AL's weekend. Only works in Alabama — TN doesn't count diapers.
📋
Check your supply list first
Don't buy stuff just because it's tax-free. Start with the list, then add extras.

Happy shopping, y'all!
