Of course, there are far more discounts and offers to be had in the US due to intense competition whereas we have two chains owned by the same company in Canada. Like many commenters have said, you should compare prices on the product you are looking for and decide if it is worth driving across the border.

It's $1518.98 in USA and $2499.99 in Canada. That's $981 less in the United States not to mention the 14% GST/PST (Ontario) tax. Get your facts straight, Canadians are getting ripped off royally.

I totally agree that you have to consider whether each item is worth it. Some cases yes and some no. I have seen huge savings on tires. Check out the link for some price comparisons. http://borderdeals.ca/2007/11/25/best-cross-border-shopping-buys-discount-tires/ Hey great article.

The duty would be 5%, I think. Tony: Hopefully, prices would come down in Canada as well. It is nice to see that the new PlayStation 3 will be priced the same in Canada as is in the US. When more people shop across the border, retailers will get the message in a hurry. AE:Yeah, $800 is enough of a difference to justify a drive to the States. The duty would be 5%, I think.

Example, a digital sony camera. the top of the line, touchscreen (t200) is $100 cheaper in the US $399, and on the canadian site, it;s $499; when my friend was in the States, he went to the sony store and it was cheaper!!! So, doing your homework first on the name brands pays off! when i shop, i first compare via the internet.
