No. A ton of Canadians close to the border regularly cross the border to buy goods, including groceries, gas, and electronics. All of which are typically substantially cheaper even if it&#x27;s only a 30 minute drive away. The Canadian dollar is doing terribly right now, so it&#x27;s not as beneficial, but even but even though our dollar is only at $0.72 you can STILL save a bit of money after the  exchange rate.<p>Services tend to be significantly cheaper. (Cell phone plans, taxi&#x27;s, ect.)
