Oklahoma Lawmakers Vote to Cut State’s Grocery Tax; Largest in History

Load up the grocery cart! You’ll soon be paying less at the register.

• Mouths to Feed: The Oklahoma Senate passed a bill on Thursday to eliminate the state's grocery sales tax. It’s now going to Governor Kevin Stitt's desk. "Today, we get to fulfill a promise to all four million Oklahomans and pass the largest single year tax cut in Oklahoma history. Cutting the grocery tax means relief for all Oklahomans,” Stitt said.

• Stock Up: So how much savings will we actually see? The average person in Oklahoma pays about $300 a month for groceries, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. For a family of four, that comes out to $1,200 a month. In a year, that family will buy $14,400 worth of food at the store. Experts estimate about $400 in savings per year with the new tax cut. You could start saving as early as August.
