That is one thing we don't pay tax on, with some exceptions. There is
sales tax on snack foods, soft drinks, some specialty prepared foods,
restaurant meals over $4. For some foods, like baked goods, you are
charged tax if you get only one or two, but not if you get a half dozen.
Meat, dairy products, fruit, vegetables, packaged cookies and prepared
foods are all tax free.
