On my recent trip to Canada I found nearly all things much higher priced
than the US. In fact, much of the goods are US brands. Here in the US very
few buy at full prices as most foodstuff become half-price in a matter of
weeks. Also other items are much cheaper after the event for example
Christmas and out of season stuff is reduced 50-90% on December 26 or after
the season ...so advanced planning can help you save a lot.
Many if my Canadian friends make regular trips to bordering US cities and
town to do their shopping but Canadian custom regulation are strict
especially when it comes to alcohol and tobacco.
