Grocery shopping in Eagan, MN

On September 5 2007 I went shopping in Eagan, Mn.

I bought a bottle of Shout detergent for $2.89. This was taxable. Sales tax in Eagan is 6.5%. Tax is rounded to the nearest cent. In addition, I bought the following untaxed items.

4 containers of yogurt, regular price $1.18 each, 6 cents off.
1 container of yogurt, regular price $1.18 each, 10 cents off.
2 half-gallons of milk, $4.09 each.
1 package of sliced cheese, $3.19
1 gallon of orange juice, $6.99
1 container of cottage cheese, $4.85

What was the tax? What was the total bill, including tax? How much did I save by buying the sales items?
