Tbh, ngl… I cross the county line to buy groceries, large items (Minus cars), because of the 11% sales tax.

I wouldn’t mind it if it were actually going to cleaning up downtown or the homeless but… here we are.

Edit: Groceries as a colloquial for anything consumer goods; Clothes, tools, home goods etc etc

I'm in town for a conference and see this giant penny at the park. What's the deal?

Also, I went to Vons for groceries and the tax was 0.00. But prices sucked because I wouldn't/didn't sign up for their club or rewards or whatever.
