Its just amazing to me..that people ask for thoughts on the matter of food and crossings. They get all kinds of suggestions..(mine is always to go with nothing. That way...at least no hassles about that particular subject.) Then we have those that go with full larders and because they didn't get asked...suggest that everyone should do the same. Then those that have food, get searched, have food removed..and also suggest that a border agent is stealing it so they can eat it...good grief...You want no hassles? leave the food behind. You want maybe hassles..take it with you.
How much clearer can it be?
And yes, you are right...food costs are higher in Canada.
X3 Thank you Gary! You've confirmed that the most hassle-free border crossing from Canada to the US will occur with an empty fridge and pantry. I don't think it's an "overreaction" at all. When you're given a list of acceptable and prohibited products, and then, say, return to the US in a few weeks, the rules and regulations may have changed. Why take the chance?
