How does a $3.99 canned food item come out to $4.45 in California? (yiffit.net)

There's no sales tax on unprepared food in this state (I'm also paying by EBT with food stamps) and the CRV for the can is only $0.05. where the fuck is the other 41 cents coming from? 😬

Wondering what comes in a can that costs that much these days.

Big can of soup.

That is a lot of money for soup! Sorry to hear it.

I mean, it's a giant family sized can. Not like a single serving of Progresso. lol
