## Resource

Alabama’s Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday is here, running through Sunday, July 19th, offering big savings for families stocking up on school supplies. This year, exemption limits have been raised to keep pace with inflation, letting you buy more tax-free — from pencils and calculators to laptops and uniforms. Governor Ivey and the state’s revenue department are pushing this as a key investment in education, with local governments also able to waive their own taxes for extra savings. Don’t miss your chance to equip students for success — and keep more money in your pocket. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
