Items on the list under 100 dollars (clothing and footware) are tax exempt. This currently does not include many school supplies which would make sense duh. You can't go buy designer shoes for 500 bucks for example and get them tax free. Malls will be packed and wal-marts are over run all to save about 10-20 bucks.
here is a link to the list

There are currently campaign promises to make the time longer and expand the list, but we shall see. My wife works at target and this is worse than Christmas for her.

Massachusetts has two tax-free weekends: one in August (this year 8/12-13) and the other in February. Purchases under $2500 do not have the 5% sales tax applied.

I don't know if PA has that. At least I've never heard of it. We only get to purchase computers twice a year with no taxes added.
