Is the bottom image with or without sales tax? Usually in the US prices are shown without it (as it depends on state, county, etc), whereas in most EU countries and I'm assuming Germany as well, prices for consumer goods are generally shown with taxes included

Everywhere I've lived, most groceries aren't taxed, so what's showing would be the final price.

Things that might be taxed are things like pre-prepared food or soda.

It's without but food products in Colorado are taxed at a very low rate around 3 percent unless you're on SNAP ("food stamps"), in which case food isn't taxed.

So, worst case scenario (in Colorado, specifically) on a $4.99 egg purchase you may also see an additional 15 cents in tax.

Some states do not differentiate in the tax percentage applied to foods versus other products so in those places it's not out of the question to see sales tax of 10 percent or so...
