Because the Canadian People are Sheeple and The Gov't wont step in and stop gouging.
Figure this out...
We cut our trees, mill them into lumber, and sell it to the USA. The USA in turn sells it to you people.
The prices down there for our wood, is cheaper than we can buy it for. Enough so, that when I am building something, I drive 4 hours down into the States to buy all my lumber, that is stamped with a Maple leaf, and "Made in Canada" on it.
I say that you buy a deuce and a half then do a Costco run down here. It would pay for itself.......
Anytime I am down, I bring a truckload of whatever I need/want back. But when you're talking a 'truckload' that requires some saving up, so I only do that once or twice a year
I'll send seeds but bp will have to do the work, how's that for a deal? Just send some food back my way.Originally Posted by izzyscout21
We shop at Sam's, Costco and the local stores. We buy bulk whenever we can find what we want and buy the "buy one get one free" deals at the local stores. No one doubles coupons here. Prices go crazy here. One month 50lbs of sugar will be $35 at sams and then 2 months later it will drop to $27 so we really just watch them and I buy a lot of one thing when I see the price when I know it's low. I do admit though that I only do a vague list and then buy what I see is on sale or something that I see we could use to add to our supply. Drives my DH nuts sometimes....always wants to know where I plan on putting it. "Don't worry about it....trust me" ha! Famous last words! I get away with a lot too because we do eat out more often than not so most of what I buy gets put away and we just make quick meals at home. Seems like we are always out in town during meal time so I get off easy.
Since you'll be right down the road, sound like a deal.
The hail killed my garden last year, and I'm not one to have much of a green thumb to begin with.

Sounds like you need a kindly old grandfatherly type to retire near you to assist in the gardening, animal husbandry and entertain the twins with tales of adventure and what it was like in the good old days. Let me know when the spot for my RV and horse trailer is ready.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry, Virginia House of Burgesses, March 23, 1775
