I don't calculate sales tax in these trips because depending on what state you live in, you may not have to pay any sales tax at all, or you may pay only on the non-food items, or it may be pre-coupon price, or post-coupon price. Basically, becaue sales tax varies so widely between states, I don't feel that including it would help you to see what you can get.
