It's really different! Th...@ The Executioner;<br /><br />It's really different! There is so much more to choose from. <br /><br />I heard once from a retailer that Brands view Canadians as conservative so we get the boring looking stuff. The Gap is a good example. <br /><br />Also, we don't get the sales or coupons and multiple percentages off on purchases. <br /><br />Many a time I've been surprised with an extra 25% off at Macy's at the cash, when I've already gotten half off to begin with. <br /><br />Getting 20 - 30% off is a big deal in Canada. Now that there are more discount department stores popping up, you can hunt out better prices. Our regular dept stores are much stingier with sales.<br /><br />A lot of people I know make cross border shopping a bit of a sport especially for kids and car stuff. <br /><br />Even with the exchange (not so much nowadays) and the taxes at the border, we still come out ahead in many cases. I've never heard of anyone say they are coming to Canada to go cross border shopping... :)MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13421430633168170078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541846551315802129.post-70066554256441509662011-06-01T17:51:57.491-04:002011-06-01T17:51:57.491-04:00How is shopping in the US different than shopping ...How is shopping in the US different than shopping in Canada?The Executionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419763605714282331noreply@blogger.com
