Stupid Canadian Companies!!!

I just thought I would whine.
My boyfriend is going to start winter camping and has asked for a sleeping bag for his birthday. Because he wants to go to Northern Ontario, we need one rated for -30-40 degrees C. Anyways, there is one offered by a company that sells out of Canada and the US. The Candian site sells it for $400 while the US site sells it for $300!!! Grrrrr. The Canadian dollar is about $0.95 US, so only 5% lower, yet the product is 25% more expensive. I tried to buy from the US site and they won't let me. I even tried to go through another company and buy, but they don't ship to Canada. Grrr.
Seriously considering a trip across the border, but I'm not sure if its worth it for $100.00.
Just wanted to vent!




That's bologna!

That does suck. Not sure how far from the border you are. I am about 45 minutes from the border and I know it wouldn't be worth it for me, if you are like me, you would spend more than the $100 on things that weren't really needed. Plus you need to consider your gas and time to go across the border.
Just think of it as doing your part to keep the economy going :-)

Bex, I know how you feel (on a much smaller level).

Yes that is frustrating. And you have to go for two nights to bring back $200 bucks worth with out getting charged for it. Unless you make it look like a blanket in the back seat...........I did not say that out loud.
Road trip!
SHOTGUN!
