MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Grocery shoppers in Tennessee beware: there's just one more day to take advantage of the state's grocery tax holiday.
Tennesseans' grocery bills got a slight discount this year during a three-month grocery tax holiday.
From August through October 31, 2023, Tennesseans will not pay tax on most food and food ingredients sold in grocery stores. The tax-relief does not include alcoholic beverages, tobacco, candy, dietary supplements, or prepared food.
The governor's office said the tax holiday saved each Tennessee family more than $100 in taxes on average.
The governor’s office said additionally, local governments will be reimbursed by the state for any tax revenues lost during the period.
The tax holiday is part of the $1.6 billion budget approved by the state legislature.
Shoppers have until midnight Wednesday to get their groceries tax-free.
