I live in Tennessee, but i love the state of Kentucky. why? Kentucky has horse racing, bingo, beautiful bluegrass, but best of all, i love the “no taxes” on food purchased at a grocery store. i purchased $93.00 worth of food at WalMart in Kentucky and i only paid about a $1.19 in taxes and that was for none-food items, like motor oil. how does the state of Kentucky do it? fortunately, i live close to the border of Kentucky and its worth the trip, just for the savings in taxes. if Kentucky has no taxes on food, why don’t the other states follow suit? whats the tax structure on grocery store food purchased in your state?
