I happened to be out and stopped for a yearly planner. It wasn't even tax-free. I always avoided it before. Now I know it is not worth it!

I usually save expensive purchases for that day if I can get them online. It gets way to busy in the stores to save a few bucks.

I try to avoid these days as the crowds make it more frustrating and since I do not have children in school, I leave that day to the parents that need it.
