ROCK HILL, SC — For some North Carolinians, back-to-school shopping means crossing state lines for cheaper deals. Tax-free weekend kicked off at midnight Friday in South Carolina and will continue until Sunday. Shoppers can get discounts on clothing, school supplies and computers. Shoppers we talked to in Rock Hill say the drive is well worth the deals.
“It’s such a benefit and I can’t believe that North Carolina isn’t doing it. So we’re so close, we just hopped on 485 we’re here. Its a quick drive and we get to take advantage of it,” said Stalings resident Lisa Anderson.
North Carolina repealed its sales tax holiday in July. Lawmakers say it cost the state more than $13 million in lost revenue.
