we still have grocery tax in my state. I think at the least they should not allow tax on fresh foods and I would include bags of beans and grains as fresh.

Connecticut has sales tax on most things but not groceries except for certain things like energy drinks and sodas.

i mean they have to compensate by having next to no corporate or income tax, those are usually the POORER states too.

I thought states that taxes groceries were the norm. If this is not true I will be even madder.

Yeah, it’s only been the last 30-40 years that we’ve been falling down the same rabbit hole that places like OK or AL have.

I’ve lived in Missouri my whole life and never really grocery shop when I go out of state. You telling me other states just pay the sticker price?

On food items, yes.
