They are pure substances because they only contain one type of molecule (excluding impurities and contaminants).

Salt: Sodium Chloride* - NaCl

Sugar: Sucrose* - C12H22O11

Baking Soda: Sodium Bicarbonate - CHNaO3

*There are many, many different salts and several sugars; the ones above are the ones you would encounter normally (salt shakers and sugar cubes).
