With only thirteen days left until the start of the 2010 school year, it's time to finish up that school supply shopping.

If you have some time to spare and a long list, it might be worth it for you to head south of the border - the Wisconsin border that is. For the next two days Illinois is offering a tax holiday on all things school related. School supplies, calculators, and new clothes to go back in style are all included.

You won't be able to save on computers or any clothing item over $100. The last day for the tax break is August 15th so you'll have to hit the road this weekend.
