Goodfellow Exchange makes the grade with back-to-school Published Aug. 9, 2011 By Army and Air Force Exchange Public Affairs GOODFELLOW AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- The new school year is just around the corner and the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is here to help students with all their school needs. Everything from supplies to clothing, the Goodfellow AFB Exchange has it in store for students and parents. The Exchange is making it easy to stay hip with the brands students are looking for, all at very competitive prices. Numerous name brands will all be featured. Goodfellow Exchange patrons can save up to 20 percent on select items such as portfolios, folders, and notebooks, crayons, glue and Sharpies. Students can load up the deals thanks to a wide selection of discounted backpacks. In addition to low prices, everything in the Goodfellow Exchange is always tax-free. Furthermore, during Texas' "tax holiday" the Exchange will match local sales tax percentage discounts, based upon categories, effectively doubling the Exchange's tax-free benefit. "If you are shopping the Goodfellow Exchange from Aug. 19-21, the designated 'tax holiday,' the Exchange will take eight percent off qualifying products, consistent with the local tax rate," said the Exchange's General Manager Sue Roy. "While all items at the Exchange are tax free every day, this additional amount off is during the 'tax holiday' period only." Regardless of when they shop, parents can expect more while paying less with the Exchange's "Back-To-School" savings. On average customers save 24 percent and the "Price Match Policy" can save shoppers even more. "The Exchange's buying staff has done its homework over the past year and we're ready to pass the savings lessons on to military families," Roy. "Even though we've crammed to deliver the best 'back to school' shopping experience possible, we're always prepared to match the lowest local price to ensure authorized shoppers are getting the best value for their 'back to school' dollars."
