Today is your day Boomer! Yesterday's "good news" was partially about Boomers returning to the U.S. for some cross-border shopping. We can do this now without expensive and time-consuming COVID tests. So, what are the prices like? A survey yesterday in Bellingham, Washington...which is just across the border from Vancouver, BC revealed some pretty good savings! Check this out: "After converting to Canadian dollars, a typical jug of whole milk in Bellingham sold for $2.49, while the same product in B.C. was $5.89. A carton of 18 large white eggs in Bellingham was the equivalent of $3.12 Canadian compared to $5.89 in B.C. A loaf of whole wheat bread, on the other hand, actually cost more in Washington, retailing for the equivalent of $2.49 Canadian at Fred Meyer, but available in B.C. for $2.29. And then there’s the gas, which was selling for US$4.29 per gallon, which according to USGAS.ca converts to about CAD$1.42 per litre." In my BC town, gas sells for about 50 cents higher. Good deals Boomers! Something to think about or take action on. Cheers.
