This is perhaps the most crucial thing to remember about tax free weekend. There will be people. A lot of people. Particularly at places at the Pigeon Forge Tanger Outlets, the usual throng of shoppers will be tenfold. Dressing rooms will be packed. Lines will be long. You might have to dodge a few elbows. Those with a fear of crowds should approach the day with a clear game plan.

However, the following tips offer ways to make your trip to Pigeon Forge outlets and other Pigeon Forge shopping destinations efficient and economical, so you'll have to fight the crowds as minimally as possible.

Tip #2 Plan AheadPigeon Forge Tanger Outlets

Several different strategies can help you create a plan that will save you the most money, provide you with exactly what you need, and allow for the most efficient Pigeon Forge shopping experience for this busy weekend.

  • Create a list of what you need to buy. Compare this list to the Pigeon Forge Tax Free Weekend 2014 list of tax exempt items (this list also has helpful information on things like coupons and layaway items) and see what is and isn't exempt.
  • Think of what you'll need throughout the year. Your kids are going to go through a lot of pencils, pens, and paper during the school year. Stock up on these essentials during Pigeon Forge Tax Free Weekend 2014. Go crazy in the office supply stores. While shopping in the Pigeon Forge Tanger Outlets, try to shop for clothes you'll need for all seasons and buy some of those basics (socks, underwear,t-shirts, etc.).
  • Prioritize what you need. As Tip #1 asserts, there's going to be a lot of people, who, more than likely, want to buy the same things as you. If you really need to buy a new laptop, stop buy the electronics store first on your Pigeon Forge shopping trip first. If you've had your eye on a new dress at your favorite store, swing by it before you go into other shops.

Tip #3 Compare PricesPigeon Forge Outlets

While creating your game plan for Pigeon Forge Tax Free Weekend 2014, check the circulars of your favorite stores.
