It's very easy to implement.  I grew up in a state where "groceries"   
(generally things you can buy with food stamps) were not consumption-taxed.
The grocery stores just program their computers (modern) or ring on key
A as opposed to key B (nonmodern).  I took for granted that there was
no sales tax on food until I moved to Georgia.

Primary residence would be exempt from sales tax.  As it is, when you
buy a house you have to do legal papers.  This would just be another
legal paper where you state in front of witnesses that the house is
your primary residence.  It's like getting one "buy a house tax free"
card that can be only used for one house at a time.
