Albany - Georgia's tax free shopping days are coming up, and this year you'll have four straight days to take advantage of tax exempt buys. The two tax free weekends are now combined. From July 31st to August 3rd, you can buy all school supplies, clothes, and some computers tax free.

"Don't wait until the last day to shop for your school supplies," said Fred's Store Manager George Davis. "Supplies fly off the shelves. If you wait too long, you may miss out on the good deals."

Many Georgia schools start on August 4th, a day after the shopping days ends. So, parents won't have much time to buy in advance.
