Most food and ingredients for home consumption are exempt in most states in the USA. Here’s some copy pasta (tax free in my jurisdiction).
Of the 45 states with sales tax, 33 states and the District of Columbia do not apply sales tax on groceries, while 12 states charge sales tax on groceries.
Six states: Alabama, Hawaii, Idaho, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and South Dakota, levy standard sales tax on grocery food.
Six states: Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia, levy reduced sales tax rates.
Of six states that levy ordinary sales tax rates on groceries, four states: Hawaii, Idaho, and Oklahoma, offer credit to low-income households.
Mississippi charges the highest sales tax rate on groceries (7%) with no credits.
Arkansas charges the lowest sales tax rates on groceries (0.125%).
Only food prepared for off-premises consumption is tax-exempt.
Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, and South Carolina exempt groceries from state-level sales tax but impose local sales tax on various food items.
Where the fuck are you paying tax on eggs?
…you don’t pay taxes on stuff bought at the grocery store? Like a sales tax? This is US mind you

I don’t pay sales tax on most groceries, including eggs. (Some junk food gets taxed, like soda.) In KY, US.
