No. Companies in Canada like to sell their goods at inflated prices compared to America. It was understandable when the $CAD was only worth 60-75% of the $USD. But with both dollars at or near parity for some time now, it is a bit of a stretch to be charging 58% more. In particular from a company like Costco.
It's not a big deal for me as I have friends in America and I usually get them to buy what I want and pay them back when I visit them and pick up my items. I love encouraging the American economy and people. :)
Canada $ versus America $P.S. Sorry to be off-topic.
P.P.S. The Heinz ketchup sold at Costco in America is different than the Heinz ketchup sold at Costco in Canada. I prefer the American version.
