Everything, and I mean everything in the US is waay cheaper. We buy everything we can on the internet and get it shipped to a US mailbox and drive across the border to get it and have saved thousands by now. We've only had to pay taxes and duty once at the border. Need tires? Drive to Oregon and get them for 1/2 of the lowest price in BC plus there's no tax in Or.
Bottled drinking water is such a rip. We have a local No-Frills grocery store that is currently selling a case of bottled water for $1 but a 4 case/day limit. DW is now stocking up as much as she can get.

Now we have an almost full, stupid big jug of the stuff sitting on a shelf which will probably last until the day I am gone.
