beat: canadian retail prices

Gildwulf · #1 10-22-2007, 10:04 AM

goddamn son of a bitch hyachachachacha

at this point:

"1 Canadian dollar = 1.029654 U.S. dollars"

Canadian retailers are refusing to change the prices, it's even pissing the government off.

Lacoste shirt in Ontario at Harry Rosen (ie Men's Wearhouse): $120 CDN + 8% sales tax= $129.60

Same Lacoste shirt at Macy's in Boston: $75 US + 5% sales tax= $78.75

60% off in the states

Brag: going to the states in November and I'm going to drop like 3k on a winter wardrobe. Cross-border shopping ftw.

This is a good point...

What pisses me off is the price written on books / magazines. For years, our books say "$4.99 US, $6.99 CAN". When our dollar was sitting at 70 cents, this made sense. But now, we're just getting hosed. And retailers won't even accept US$ to pay for them. They claim it's a more expensive market. (something about 30 Million people vs. 300 Million).

Ah well, at least I can still play on Party...
