It depends. Some table salt is pure, or nearly pure, sodium chloride. An increasing amount of table salt is being sold with iodine added to it, which makes this "iodized" salt not a pure substance.

Table sugar is usually pure, or nearly pure, sucrose. It's usually pure enough to be considered a pure substance.

Refined sugar and refined salt (without additives or impurities) are pure substances.

Pure salt is a compound made from Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl). Its formula is NaCl and it is a pure substance not a mixture. However, most salt you purchase from a shop as' Table Salt' is iodised (for health reasons) and contains anti caking agents (to make it run). That is, it has had iodine other substances added to it. This makes Table Salt a mixture.
