Tax Free Weekend is This Weekend! Texas’ Sales Tax Holiday isn’t just for back-to-school supplies—it’s a golden opportunity for farmers, gardeners, and animal lovers to save big on everyday essentials. During this annual event, many items under $100 are tax-free, offering an 8.25% discount on eligible purchases.

Stock up on children’s Muck boots, garden gloves, and pet carriers—perfect for little ones showing off classroom chicks or reptiles during show-and-tell. For gardening enthusiasts, it’s the ideal time to grab drip irrigation timers, seed-starting trays, and energy-efficient LED shop lights, all at a discount. These tools ensure you’re ready for fall transplants without breaking your budget.

Livestock projects also benefit from these tax exemptions. From cotton show leads to lamb blankets and grooming supplies, there’s plenty to prepare for county fairs and shows. Pro tip: feed and hay are already tax-exempt, so splitting these from qualifying purchases can help you stay under the $100 cap per item.

Don’t forget to bring a printed exemption list from comptroller.texas.gov to streamline your shopping. With smart planning, this short window can lead to long-term savings. Make the most of the tax holiday and stock up on your farm and home essentials! Swing by Arcola Feed and take advantage of Tax Free Weekend!
