CENTRAL, Texas — Texans are expected to save close to $136 million this tax-free weekend, according to the Texas Comptroller.

Each shopper should expect to save eight dollars on every $100 they spend.

There are certain items that qualify and don't qualify for the sales tax exemption. It's also good to remember that any item over $100 does not qualify for the exemption either.

This weekend is going to be very busy at the Harker Heights Target in particular. This weekend was pay day for the military community, Target is offering discounts for certain people, and it's tax-free weekend.

Educators and college students, you're eligible to receive a 20% discount at Target until Aug, 26.

If you're a red card holder, remember that that helps build your savings as well.

Remember that any tax-free weekend rules that apply in store also apply online.

Here is a list of all items that are tax free and items that are not this weekend, according to the Texas Comptroller:

School supplies that are tax free:

According to the Texas Comptroller, only the school supplies on this list priced under $100 qualify for exemption from tax during the sales tax holiday.

Clothes and accessories that are and are not tax exempt:
