For a family of four, that could mean saving about $125 a year—money that can really add up, especially with rising prices. Plus, diapers, maternity clothes, and feminine products will also be tax-free statewide. Local governments can even choose to cut their own grocery taxes further. While this change will impact the education budget, many see it as a much-needed relief for families. How do you think this will affect your weekly shopping? #Business #MakeMoney #Alabama00Share
