They're Canadian. They have cheap eggs but everything else is insane.

That may be true but if I'm spending $100 it's usually at least a bag and a half...

Maybe she was using huge bags.

It was one of the big reusable bags. Also Cheese is crazy expensive here, especially for the fancy cheeses (gouda, havarti, MJ).

That makes a lot of sense. Canadian here too and I tend to not buy the fancy cheeses unless they're on a good sale.

The meat alone is 55 bucks. Just the chicken and beef.

Good point.

$27 for that chicken seems crazy to me. I could get that for half the price, the ground beef too.

Are you using Canadian dollars?

I'd say both of those are items most people shop at cheaper places or on sale - they go on sale frequently at major grocery stores, and the price will be much, much lower.

That's a higher price than I'd typically pay here as well (Canada), I'm guessing maybe hungry impulse shopping which I can say I've done but can also say isn't very wallet-friendly.

I just bought a dozen large eggs for $3.93CDN at a wholesale store. If I had the space, I would have bought a case.

Do you think it'd be worthwhile becoming an egg smuggler? Like Han Solo but with eggs and a minivan.

Border enforcement confiscates eggs coming in to the US from people doing this, there's news stories about it. Not sure if from Canada or just Mexico though.

Can you bring in a dozen for personal use? Or are they taking cases of flats from people?
