Today starts Florida’s three-day sales tax holiday, just in time for school to begin Aug. 20.
The holiday was put into law to help parents with back-to-school shopping. 
Tax free savings begin today and ends at midnight Sunday. 
Clothing, backpacks, school supplies such as pens, pencils, crayons, notebook paper, glue and calculators that cost less than $15 an item are tax-free. 
Shoes that cost less than $75 a pair are tax-free as well.
