- mminer237 5y agoTIL that's a thing. Illinois has a lower tax rate on groceries but still taxes them. Also, grocery stores sell a lot more than just groceries.
- stonemetal12 5y agoCool, TIL grocery taxes exist.
- bombcar 5y agoState sales tax laws are all over the place; in many states the general idea is "don't tax necessities" which leads to silly things like buying a sandwich is tax free (like socks in Minnesota), but if you ask them to warm up the sandwich BEFORE sale it is taxed. If you ask them to warm up YOUR sandwich after sale, it's tax-free.
