And if you get short, go to a WalMart (or any place that offers cash back), buy what you need and get "cash back", just the one transaction fee. On our CAD credit cards in the US we get charged %2.5 on top of the exchange rate!
We do this in the US all the time but have just gotten a US credit card and bank account to save the %2.5. Also the bank told us that if we use our US credit card in Canada they will add the %2.5 as well.
Best advice is talk to your bank (if they still have people somewhere) for advice.
