Did you know that the Tennessee Tax-free weekend starts in just a couple days?

That means no taxes on clothing (yup, including undies), school supplies, or computers.

For all the details, including lists of exactly what's included in the tax free days go to :

But here's how to maximize saving! Let's get to one of the outlet shopping centers here in Sevier County in the Smoky Mountains. They  include Tanger, Red Roof and Belz, and we're talking "real" outlets. You know, not that kind where you find yourself asking over and over, "This is outlet pricing?"

So we can get great deals any day of the year around here, but no taxes this weekend makes it a fantastic opportunity to save, save, save.

... and keep in mind, these are all a short drive from The Wears Valley Chalet and also the Gatlinburg Lodge at SmokyMountainViews.com vacation rental cabins.

Sounds like a great excuse for a little vacation, doesn't it?
