I know I'll be hitting the outlet mall in Ellenton. That's always fun for tax free days.

Ellenton sounds like a good spot, Toni! I will have to make a plan of attack for this weekend, so I can get to all of the ideal locations :)

When I was in school my mom would spend the week before looking online and in the paper at the Tax Free deals the stores were offering, compare to her list from our schools and make an itinerary based on each store she was visiting, with the coupons in hand. Saved us A LOT more and we were done in a weekend.
