What it boils down to is, would you like to pay 13% of $1000 or 13% of $500 in taxes. The tax savings in that example are $65 which more than covers my $20 in gas and $6 for bridge tolls. I'm still waaayyyyyy ahead.

My savings have been 43%. I keep an Excel spreadsheet of my expenditures.

I go to Ogdensburg about 6 time a month, my record was 3 time in the same week... Ask the US border agent if the had a Frequent Cross Border Point Program

On the way back I'm glad to pay my 13% on half price stuff. Also It pay for my Navy pension...

For the last 2 years, the gas at Sunoco has been steady at 75 cents a liter, so for my van fill-up, I save over $15 so like you said it pay for the trip.

They are a bit stingy at the Ogdensburg crossing, we were wave off a couple time when it was under $90. But at the Niagara Fall crossing we got wave all the time, once we had told them $450... Too busy I guess.

Except for day to day shopping, I'm done with shopping in Canada. Over price and they have no clue about Customer Service, so *&^%#@ them...
