Austin families are gearing up for back-to-school season with some serious savings on the horizon. The Texas Tax-Free Weekend (August 8–10) means you can skip sales tax on most clothes, shoes, and school supplies under $100—whether you shop in-store or online. Local events are also rolling out free backpacks, supplies, and even haircuts for kids. Major retailers like Target, Walmart, and H-E-B are stacking deals on top of tax breaks, and community pop-ups offer extra ways to save. How do you plan to stretch your back-to-school budget this year? Any favorite local events or shopping hacks? #Shopping #AustinDeals #BackToSchool
