Even worse when you consider this is without tax and the compareisons are made to prices without tax. To be fair the rest of the world doesn't threat their eggs so they need to be refrigerated like these US eggs need to be, which also costs money.
Food is not taxed in the US. At least in my state.
What state doesn't have tax at the checkout?
Not on food, they don’t (most places in the US, as far as I know, right?)
Many US states do tax unprepared food... Some at a different rate than other goods, but not all.
Huh, i am not that observant i guess. Just pulled out a receipt and you're right. No tax on the groceries.
