With
all of the great malls, outlets and specialty stops in Myrtle Beach, we
thought that our area already was a shopper's paradise. Well this
weekend Myrtle Beach takes shopping to another level as South Carolina
will be holding its annual Tax Free Days beginning on Friday morning,
August 1 and lasting through Sunday night, August 3.
With gas
prices stabilizing (even going down a few cents at some area
stations!), this weekend is a perfect time to take care of school
clothes and supplies for the kids, a new family computer and even that
pair of shoes that you've had your eye on!
