It's Tuesday, the paper has been safely sent to the press, and, well, we don't really know what else to say, except that it's still hot.
You'll notice that our paper date has changed - we have moved from a Thursday paper date to a Wednesday paper date. This won't change anything for our readers, as our paper has always been available on Wednesday to the greater majority of our distribution area. We've been working with local post offices to ensure that everyone gets their paper on Wednesday, and, now, we are finally able to officially move our paper date a day forward.
Tax-Free Weekend is fast approaching, so start planning to hit local retailers for extra discounts on the back-to-school items you need! A good rule of thumb is that most clothing, footwear and school supplies under $100 will be exempt from sales tax from August 19-21, meaning shoppers will save around $8 for every $100 they spend. To find out exactly which items will not be taxed, visit Texas.gov's complete list.
If you're doing your back-to-school shopping in Greenville, be sure to visit Crossroads Mall and enter in their drawing to win a backpack full of goodies. The drawing takes place August 12th.
To save money this weekend, check out our list of local garage sales on page 3. Running from Thursday-Sunday in 4 area towns, there just might be someone who's selling something that you need!
