SAN ANTONIO –

If you're looking to upgrade some appliances or just need mulch for landscaping, this is your weekend to save money.

The state's annual tax-free weekend on certain energy-efficient or water-conserving products takes place this weekend. It's a chance to save the sales tax and lower your future utility bills.

Energy-saving products that qualify will have the energy star logo and include dishwashers, washing machines, ceiling fans, light bulbs and refrigerators priced at $2,000 or less.

Also tax-free are air conditioners that are priced at $6,000 or less.

Some of the other things that will be tax-free include showerheads, faucets, toilets, soaker hoses, mulch and some plants.

Be sure to look for the water sense logo for energy efficiency. The sales tax holiday begins Saturday and runs through Monday.
