Cub Foods ~ Question: Grocery Taxes?

[billig]

I'm hoping a few of you can tell me what the sales tax percentage is on the bottom of your receipts.
Please include the city and county of the store you shopped at.
Thanks.

6.75% St. Anthony MN, I think this is Anoka county (Cub)

Shakopee, Scott County has a sales tax of 6.5%, but it isn't charged on most food.

I still have a hard time telling what is taxed and what is not taxed.

Peoria , Peoria county

8.0 tax

From my understanding (which could be wrong.. I frequently am) "essential" foods like milk and bread are not taxed, but "non-essential" like pop and chips are taxed.
