A Charlotte shopper grabs two rotisserie chickens off the hot bar, sure the tax works the same as it does on a bag of frozen peas. It doesn’t. North Carolina taxes that same chicken differently depending on whether it comes hot off the bar or cold from the case, and that’s just one of the…
Kroger offers shoppers many great deals, but no grocery store is perfect. These are the Kroger traps that Ohioans need to watch out for. 1.

Some Publix BOGO deals stick around all week. Others vanish faster than free samples at Costco on a Saturday afternoon.
