Happens in CA too... though our laws are also weird in that
non-prepared foods (and locally prepared foods for consumption by
students) are not taxed.
You can also avoid sales tax by having items shipped, though you're
supposed to pay the sales tax in the locality you have them shipped
to. [And it's probably not terribly useful to have them shipped out of
the US.]
