Understanding Your Kroger Bill
If you have ever come across a Kroger receipt, you might have observed some terms like X, N, O, T, and F. These receipts can be confusing to understand with those abbreviated terms.
What Does “X” Mean on Receipt?
If you buy anything from Kroger that is subject to a tax, it is known as a “Taxable Item”. The “X” on the bill indicates that the item is taxable. On the contrary, if the item is nontaxable, it will be denoted as “N”.
Do not confuse “X” with “T”, as both indicate taxable items, but “T” means a taxable item that was purchased on a sale.
The same is the case with “N” and “O”. Both indicate that the item is nontaxable, but “O” is a nontaxable item purchased on a sale.
Taxable Items
The majority of grocery store items include sales tax. A small percentage of a product’s price is charged on taxable items to keep the production costs running.
The sales tax rules vary from state to state; some states also exempt sales tax on grocery items.
Kroger cares for its customers and has compiled a list of tax-free days when it sells school supplies at affordable prices without tax. These days are different for all states; you can find yours on the list.
Bottom Line
Kroger tries its best to serve customers with a satisfactory shopping experience, ensuring they get high-quality items readily available in the store. As a customer, we must pay the taxes imposed by the government on grocery items.
Buying a taxable item from Kroger will be denoted as “X” at the right end of its row. Next time you shop at Kroger, you will be well aware of the abbreviated terms on its bill.
