Florida's back-to-school sales tax holiday is underway at malls and shops across the state.
Starting Friday, shoppers do not have to pay sales and local sales taxes on clothing worth $100 or less. Sales taxes are also waived for school supplies worth $15 or less.
Shoppers also do not have to pay the state's 6 percent sales tax on the first $750 of any computer purchase. The exemption also applies to computer accessories.
Some shoppers said they've saved upwards of $100 during the sales tax holiday.
"At least $50 with clothes and a little bit of the school supplies I buy," said shopper Gina Greenwich. "Every little bit helps."
Even the malls are getting in on the fun.
"We're going on our 10th year of doing this promotion or similar to this and it works very well," said Maynel Alvarez-Requejo. "People actually start asking about the promotion even before school lets out and they're already asking about the promotion for back to school."
The sales tax holiday ends on Sunday at midnight.
This year the amount of clothing exempt from taxes has gone up from $75 to $100. The other major change is that the sales tax break is applied to computer purchases worth than $750. This means that it will apply to Apple laptops this year.
