Floridians can get these hurricane prep items tax-free starting Saturday

As the tropics heat up this weekend, it's a good idea to ask yourself: Do I have my emergency supply kit ready?

You won't be able to pick up a famous Publix hurricane cake, but you will be able to get any supplies you may need for a storm tax-free for the next two weeks.

Florida's 2023 Disaster Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday starts Saturday, Aug. 26, and runs through Friday, Sept. 8.
