Milk I totally agree on. It's a ripoff here.
4 litres of milk is now around $6.00 !
But , common stupid mistakes Canadians do :
They just look at the dollar (forgetting to add 30% to it) !
Secondly, not knowing a jug of milk in Canada is 4 liters.
Compared to a gallon of milk in the US (just 3 1/2 ltr).

My Canadian neighbors differ in your opinion. On Labor Day they were telling me how nearly everything was cheaper.

 

[klein]

If they live in a smaller town , near the US border , then I'll believe it.
I for example live in the largest Canadian city to the north.
We get tons of shoppers coming here to shop.
This city is what I call - a warehouse city !
And everything is cheaper !
Even the cheapest gasoline in the country.
Not as cheap as yours though.
They just added another 10cents/ltr tax and come January atleast another 5cents carbon tax. More likely another 10 cents.
But yeah , if I lived in a smaller town , near the border , I would hit south myself.
I don't think many from larger cities would make a shopping trip there. And paying over $1.30 for $1 of yours.

 

[1989]

I don't know where anyone is from. All I know is they travel south on I5. And their plates say Beautiful British Columbia. I would guess they come Victoria, Vancouver, surrey area.

 

[klein]

Victoria very unlikely. It's on the island ! Just the ferry alone is over $150 !
For a vacation then sure. But not for a shopping trip !
White Rock , BC. Been there myself. Half hr later had cheap US beer ! Half the price ! Same as cigs.

 

[1989]

They have shopping trip charter busses that come down also.

 

[klein]

So , they'll pay roughly a $100 to save what ?
Google "Americans buying Canadian cars" or Google "American tourism up in canada" or Google Canadian cross border shopping" (down).
Also Google Canadians travel less to US.
I don't need to Google it , since I know the true facts ! Unlike you !
You really think we wanna spend a dollAR 30 for 1 of yours ?

 

[1989]

Maybe you should get out more and stop googling.

Start a Canadian shopping thread, this thread is supposed to be about the illustrious Donald Trump.

Welcome back Klein.

 

[1989]

Oh Canada, Oh Canada...

 

[klein]

Sorry Tony.
Got carried away again.
The world is getting ready for a USSR style USA. (No trade)
Canada & Mexico signing the Trans Pacific Asian Trade Agreement. Also us signing the EU free trade agreement early 2017.
Damage has already been done because of that idiot !

 

[Bad Gas!]

On dumb Trump matters you can get info from The Other Side (POS) or go to all the main stream media channels. If he (POS) did as much research on Hilary, he wouldn't be bragging how grand she is. She should win and it will be 4 more years of Obama. I don't think she will be healthy enough or she will final get told on for her blackmailing (the only way she is not arrested by now).

 

[klein]

4 more years of Obama is a lot better than the turmoil Trump would bring !

I don't know any that have. Do they represent 40-60% of the parking spots everyday? That's acres of parking lost everyday. Limited parking for the Yanks.

Americans who live near the border regularly cross to get the prescriptions filled.

Canadians who live near the border regularly cross to fill their cars with gas.

Gee , did you hear about the redicolous charge of your allergic pen ?
It's been here on the news.
Here it's C$ 40. US$ 190 there.
And that's after the outcry from Americans! Was over $300!

It was closer to $600.

My granddaughter has allergies and my daughter has 2 Epipens in the house, 2 in the car and 2 at her daycare. Thankfully their insurance covers them in full.

That's just nuts.
Nevermind insurance paying for it , because in the end you still need to all pay for it !
When I went to Florida I brought a container of Tylenol 1 (with codine) for my aunt (No prescription needed here)
30 tabs for $12.
She couldn't believe how I got it that cheap. - I just went to Safeway!
In NY probably "Winnies" or some other major grocery chain (not as big as Costco or Walmart).
Probably could have saved an extra buck there.
Odd thing : I have a major allergy.
Just too lazy to get my free pen .

The sell codeine with no prescription?

 

[klein]

Yup , Tylenol 1 with codeine or same as no name brand.
They are not on the shelf.
Just ask pharmacist.
I always get some before heading on a vacation.
Never know if major pain may occur.

Not in NY.
