Shop tax free this weekend in EG

Don’t forget to shop your local Eagle Grove stores this weekend during the 19th annual Iowa Sales Tax Holiday will be held Friday and Saturday, August 3 and 4, 2018. Qualifying clothing or footwear with a selling price of less than $100 will be exempt from sales and local option tax.

You can find lots of great things for back to school in our own hometown. Show your Eagle spirit with logo clothing available right here in town with items ranging from hats to shirts to pajama pants to socks...and so much more. You can also find undergarments, diapers, leggings, belts, diabetic shoes, slippers...lots of tax free items. Go out and see for yourself before supporting out-of-town retailers.

Whether you have schoolaged children or not, back-toschool time is savings time - for everyone.

The key to big savings is planning ahead and knowing exactly what is on sale. You always need socks and undergarments, so why not stock up for now…and later? Sure, summer may be coming to an end, but wouldn’t it be fun to wear a brand new pair of sandals next summer that you know you saved money on because you didn’t have to pay the sales tax?
