I didn’t have a budget or anything so I found it mildly interesting that it turned out an even number.

minus-squareJackLSauce@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·9 months agoNE has the same no-grocery tax rule. A handful of states have no sales tax in general (I believe SD and either NH or VT for example) and many, if not all, won’t tax groceries purchased with whatever food stamps are called in the respective state
