Back-to-school shoppers can save some money in New Jersey. The state is suspending sales tax on a number of school-related items, from supplies to computers. DaveCarlinTV spoke with parents eager to take advantage of the 10-day tax holiday.
Chris Roe was in Hacksensack, getting the school year off to a great start for 10-year-old son Logan and 7-year-old daughter Lia.
"Everybody should be able to obtain everything that they need, and with the tax holiday, it's gonna make that, you know, more people are going to be able to get everything that they need," he said. "I'm a teacher, so that is a big, big relief for us. We spend a lot of money on supplies, so that helps a lot," said Clifton parent and teacher Elizabeth Eckford. This year is the first time New Jersey and Connecticut joined 17 other states in the tax-free holiday. Connecticut's holiday ends Saturday.
