TAX FREE STUFF THIS WEEKEND

Some of the spring models are indicating a more active severe storm season for our area.  Think ahead and stock up on those things you need, just in case. Alabama's tax holiday for severe weather preparedness items is coming Feb. 22-24. During this weekend, Alabama will waive the state sales tax on items needed to prepare for severe weather. 

The Alabama Department of Revenue says the tax-free purchases include common disaster supplies that cost less than $60 and generators costing $1,000 or less. Items covered include flashlights and batteries, self-powered or battery-operated radios, tarpaulins, plastic sheeting, ground anchor systems, plywood, first aid kits, artificial ice, fire extinguishers and smoke detectors.
