I am traveling down to the US and was wondering if it is really cheaper to buy liquor at the duty free shop on the Canadian side. Or is it cheaper to buy it down in the states. Thanks
It may depend on what you purchase, that last time we looked at wine (Australian) in the duty free on the Canadian side and the same wine was much cheaper on the shelves in Washington state.
A lot depends on the state you will ultimately buy the liquor in. I know in Arizona the Canadian contingent flocks to Costco as they say the liquor is much cheaper there than in the Canadian province they may be from
When I traveled OVERSEAS for business, it was always cheaper to buy liquor at the duty free on the way out but now that I'm just traveling to USA, it's cheaper to buy in USA.
The bottom shelf rye whiskey I drink is $56CDN for 1.75L at the LCBO and about $15US for a half-gallon in almost any liquor store in the States. Duty free would be less than LCBO price.
To bad you are not going thru New Hampshire. We have very cheap prices and we have State run liquor stores right on the highway. You don't even have to leave the highway! How can you beat that!
