It’s a beautiful bright sunny Friday here in the Midwest. I hope you are having some great weather too. We’ve seen the hottest days this year this past week, and finally today its a nice reprieve.
This weekend is our tax free holiday weekend here in Missouri and we plan to utilize it. We’ll be going to the mall later this evening to buy some things we waited to get until this weekend in particular.
If your tax free weekend is upon you, remember my frugal advice. Only buy it if you really need it. Don’t assume that just because it’s tax free makes it a great deal. Remember taxes range at only 5%-10%. So that’s only 5-10% off your purchase which really isn’t that great. Unless it’s a big ticket item. Be sure and check out your states laws regarding purchase maximums. Some states don’t allow purchases of things over $100 or so.
Anyway, thought I’d end the week with a few cute money/financial jokes. I hope you enjoy them! Have an excellent weekend and I’ll see you on Monday!

To remember or invent
What he did with every cent.
