Just returned from the Tar - jay, looking at the receipt I see that ILLANNOY taxes food @ 2.25%...natcherly Illannoy taxes the hell out of everything, that is why it is a dying state...we've a state income tax, too...thank you DUMBOCRATS...!!!

Bought a cereal bowl, that was taxed @ 10.00%, if it was the city of Chicawgo you'd pay several percentage points more...

Many Chicagoans make trips outside of Cook County, especially to Indiana, for vittles. likker, gas, smokes, everything...they save many bux.

Peeps are fleeing to states like Indiana, Tennessee, Texas, etc....eventually they get tired of paying for others' fiscal mismanagement...Democrats here are a bunch of ****ing THIEVES...

Our monthly orders are well over $49. If you have just one one cat
you really don't need any low prices.

Yes, I have just the one cat and keep quite a variety of 3 pound bags
of cat food on hand. I always have $1 coupons for these bags and
coupons for her litter, too.

CA pulled the junk food tax a few years ago, taxing anything they considered
junk food, but as usual they couldn't agree on what was a junk food, some
thought things like popcorn, peanuts, etc. were, some didn't think so and so
on, so they abandoned it after a few months. Morons.

Cigarettes are taxed because they're so bad for you. Why not tax
clearly unhealthy food? Not peanuts or popcorn, but coca cola, fast
food etc.

You would love Virginia then. They tax *everything*.
They charge state income tax too.
"Leave no stone unturned."

I looked again at my grocery store receipt. Not only did I pay
the 2.5% tax on all food, but there was one item....precooked
tempura chicken nuggets from the deli. They were leftover from
the day before so I bought a small container at a reduced price.
For that one pre-cooked item, the tax was 5.5% .

To my knowledge, the only things NOT taxed in Virginia is drugs,
both prescription and OTC.

Actually, it is unfair to anyone not shopping tax free. The state needs
a certain amount of money to operate. If you evade all taxes, the rest
of us have to pay more.

Seems even the most honest people think evading taxes is ok to do, but
your share has to be made up by others. Most of the big internet
sellers are collecting taxes now rather than fight the states in court.

I'd rather internet sites collected the tax instead of me feeling a
little guilty about not filling out that line on my tax form. Sorry,
I am not about to keep track of everything I buy online and account
for it at the end of the year.

I know it's a hassle out of proportion for small online sellers.

Fast food is taxed, soft drinks are taxed in some places, and always taxed
for containers in all places in CA.

OTC Taxed here, exception that I know of is diabetic supplies IF purchased
at the drug counter, and not the regular checkout counter, there may be
others, but OTC is taxed. No prescription tax.

Also, there is a bill in congress right now to put an end to tax free
internet shopping, so I imagine it will end soon.

Scoop Away is lousy cat litter, it's very dusty, we don't but that
brand.
We've never bought the 28 pounder, we buy a 40 pounder, five
sacks per month.
https://www.chewy.com/frisco-fresh-s...ping/dp/133043
Plus we subscribe to AutoShip so they take 10% off our entire order,
which is a substantial discount.
And since we are a good steady cutomer they include cat treats and cat
toys gratis, and sometimes include samples of new cat products.
I suppose if someone has only one cat they may as well buy from their
local market but we have five indoor cats and several ferals outdoors.
We use a lot of litter, two extra large pans indoors and three extra
large outdoors; one in the barn, one in the gardening shed, and one
under our deck. The ferals use those pans rather than do their
business on the crushed stone foor.

There is nothing unhealthy about peanuts and popcorn.
In shell peanuts and popping corn are considered Produce (no tax) but
soda has been taxed in NY for as long as I can remember. If popcorn is
already popped then it's taxed like chips.
It ****es me off that NY taxes pet food, but Chewys does not.
The greedy asshole polititions tax TP too... pays their over inflated
salaries.

Amazon has been collecting NY sales tax for months, but they found a
way around it.... they allow customers to choose a tax free charity to
donate to and meanwhile they discount their prices, so in effect the
customer pays no tax... they collect the tax but it's offset by the
discount.
The brick and mortars are for the most part disappearing, and about
time, they've been ripping off customers since forever.

You'd qualify if you ordered twice what you need but designate to
have it Auto-Shipped every two months instead of once a month.... cat
food and litter don't spoil, and you have more than enough space for
storage. Auto-Ship entitles you to a discount too, besides the free
shipping.

Chewys cannot tax anyone, only governments can do that. They could
collect state tax if they wanted to. Of course, you are liable for use
tax and can send it to the state.

I know. Public funds have to come from somewhere. But it was a nice
discount while it lasted.

It depends on the item. Real shops can give advice. You can see and
touch the item. For some items that matters.

I was joking. But anyway, what the Netherlands -and the rest of
western Europe- has is... I forgot the term... mitigated capitalism or
something. It's capitalist without the excesses of unbridled
capitalism. Or that's the idea at least.

OK. We use auto delivery too, for a similar discount.

A feral cat doesn't use a litter box. I think what you call feral cats
are domesticated cats that ran away or whose owner died or moved and
left them behind.

Yes, sales tax, but that's on many things. Isn't there more than just
sales tax on cigarettes?

The percentage is at their descertion, can normaly be 5%-10% depending
on total, we always get 10% because our monthy bill runs over $300.

Saves us from having to clean our barn and gardening shed floors, we
find it well worth it. And we spend about $100 a month on litter.
Everyone has different priorities, we wouldn't spend a dime for a
ticket to a sporting event, but we'd spend many hundreds of dollars on
Vet bills to save our pets. Many years ago I spent nearly $3,000 on
Vet bills to save Jilly... she's now 18 years old and doing great...
she's paid back that investment manyfold in pleasure.
I got your number dwarf, it's very fortunate that you have no
children, you'd not pay $5 on medical to save them.... just keep
stealing from that fercocktah rip off food bank.

Mostly ferals don't use a litter pan but they do use the pans in our
barn and gardening shed... better than them using those crushed stone
floors. As soon as we noticed that they were using the floors we gave
them litter pans and they use them.

Nah, popeye, we know yoose buy dat litter so yoose gets pics on yoose
barn cameras. Dat way yoose can look at each cats tits and genitals
whilst yoose whacks off and splatters yoose monitor.

Dats de only way yoose gets excited enough to hump dat old Honduran lady
yoose imported from Central america.
