ATLANTA -

If you're shopping this weekend, you might save more than you think.  For the first time since 2008, you can take advantage of a sales tax holiday today and Saturday.  The idea is to help families save money on back-to-school related items.

On Friday and Saturday, you can buy a number of items without having to pay sales tax.  The deal includes clothes and shoes under $100, and some electronics, like computers valued at $1,000 or less.
