Nothing is totally free. the tax you are paying is on the food as if you had not used a  coupon. The states and federal government still charge the store the tax on an item. So it is passed on to us.

There is no national sales tax, so the feds wouldn't charge a tax on any of the items. Some items, like cigarettes, have a federal excise tax , but these are paid by the retailer and not the consumer (not directly, at least) so the tax usually ends up getting embedded into the price of the product. Because they are a part of the products price charged to consumers, the coupons would be allowed to deduct this cost.
