Lots of stuff up here is expensive. You really have to know your prices in the US and Canada for the identical items, or you might wind up paying more up here.
The US$ has about a 30% advantage over the C$ as of today.
US$1.00 = C$1.305 which appears to be a great deal for Americans visiting Canada.
However, some things that are sold in both countries can cost twice as much up here, or more. If the item is more than 30% more up here than it is back home in the USA, you're paying more for it here, in spite of your forex advantage.
Just a friendly fyi and reminder for visitors from the US. Most of you who live on the border probably already know you can pay more here, for the same stuff you can get at home.
It's often the hidden or overt taxes in our retail systems and (imo) greed by Canadian retailers. They over charge for stuff because they know most Canadians will just shrug, and pay it.
