It’s without but food products in Colorado are taxed at a very low rate around 3 percent unless you’re on SNAP (“food stamps”), in which case food isn’t taxed.
So, worst case scenario (in Colorado, specifically) on a $4.99 egg purchase you may also see an additional 15 cents in tax.
Some states do not differentiate in the tax percentage applied to foods versus other products so in those places it’s not out of the question to see sales tax of 10 percent or so…
In Colorado Springs, I’m seeing Eggland’s Best at $6.29 and Simple Truth “Kipster Large” eggs currently on sale at $4.99 per dozen, respectively, at King Soopers.
While these prices are certainly high compared to what we’re used to, it’s definitely not been nearly as outrageous as what I’m seeing online.
I can’t imagine the prices and selection are actually significantly different at the same chain an hour away in Denver.
