I havent shopped in a while but you should see our prices in Canada now! Our prices have about doubled. We pay at least $4.25 at Walmart for a lb of butter and flour has gone through the roof. Cheese has also shot up. Milk is about $5 for 4L which is about a gallon. And because flour is so high baked goods are crazy too. Our gas prices are equal to about $5.75 a US gallon! But at least we have it. No thanks to the cancellation of the pipelines here AND there. The squeeze is on my friend!
I am an American who has lived in Canada for 20 years now (married to a Canadian). The cost of groceries in Canada is outrageous as compared to US prices. It is most evident in meats, dairy and lunchmeat but most everything is substantially higher priced in Canada. There is much greater variety in the US too. I am lucky since I live in a border town and can cross over for stock-ups. Best wishes.
Michigander living in Ontario 12 years…Canada is as high as UROPE! 5.00 a U.S. gallon of gas and most items are 1.5x higher,,,dairy is 2-3x more, home and property tax are 4x more!!!! Can't wait to get back home:)
I love both your channels ..
we do a lot of cross border grocery shopping. We are from Ont and go to buffalo regularly. cereal and dairy are the biggest difference in price. Even with the exchange rate and depreciated can dollar it still is cheaper to do shopping in the states. for ex a can of peaches from GV is around 1.80 US here we pay around $3.00 for gv peaches. cereal is around 1/2 the price compared to canadian. a gallon of milk is 1.88 here a bag of milk 4litre (slightly more milk) is 3.98 (but that is supposed to change soon though – which will limit our shopping trips to the us) – we are restricted to how much diary we can bring back with us. alcohol is monopolized by the Government – hence the high prices on beer and wine in ontario.
As far as the butter, I wonder if its simply because of Supply and Demand like gasoline prices between different nations?
Eggs? Or milk? Or even bread? Or shampoo?
Rate of exchange for US to Canadian dollars is:
1 USD = 1.11 Canadian dollars. That makes a big difference too.
Quite a difference on the price of the butter!
Very interesting.
Katzcradul, Your site has done more for me and my provident living than any other single site. You critically rethink old dogma and use correct principles of sterility and technique to safely expand our food storage capabilities.I also enjoy the HHH and hurry home on Thursday evening to catch the latest show. It was w/ disappointment that I heard Noreen's insensitive criticism last night as she shared some of the questions posed to her re: what to can. She prefaced the discussion by stating there is no such thing as a 'dumb question' then went on @length in a way that left no question but that she thought they were stupid questions. Really?! Does she not realize that for many of us you guys are the ones who show us how to preserve foods never before considered candidates for preservation? A simple explanation by Noreen re: density and some of the basic tenets of bottling (which, thankfully, you did!) would have sufficed, and I can only hope the authors of the spotlighted questions are unaware of her belittling their innocent gaffs. I'm a surgical RN and am often stunned at the naïve, sometimes dangerous notions the average lay person may have regarding my field of expertise, but to treat them as foolish serves only to shut down communication and the chance to educate. It's a shame Noreen handled the discussion as she did. The HHH has always been a platform of encouragement and learning but last night it felt more like a venue to elevate Noreen's profound knowledge by demonstrating how dumb some of her viewers are. Might I end by applauding your resistance to jump in and join her in trouncing well-meaning, albeit sometimes dangerously naïve, subscribers.
I live in Canada. Even with the exchange rate, we still pay more for almost everything in comparison to The United States.
You might also want to consider the transportation cost of different items. Depending on where they are shipped from. The price of diesel fuel varies and frankly continues to climb in price…
That was pretty close. I think there is a big spred in other things though.
i live in sterling hts michigan. i have a friend in northern michigan about 4 hours away in lake city/cadillac ares. i always wait to stock up on certain items because there so much cheeper up there at there walmart than ours . this has nothing to do with sams or costco, but next time i go up there im going to check it out if they have a costco or sams there. they dont have much like we do down here . im about 30 minutes out of detroit. i also found where i live is mostly middle eastern people. there stores for fruits n veggies and dries herbs n spices are way cheeper than any other stores around .i so need a camera to start my own channel . thanks Katz for the awesome topics.
If my nearest Costco was not 3 hours away I would add some numbers.
Sam's Club comparison in Mid-Michigan:
•32 oz maple syrup $13.28 (.9464 liters)
•25 lbs AP flour: $8.29
•4 lbs Butter: $8.98 (But in Dec. I paid $1.79/lb at my local Spartan store and canned it!)
Bev paid more for butter because it is most likely made a bit different. Our dairy guidelines differ greatly from the states. By law our pasteurization process differs and regulations on how much dairy sold has to come from the Canadian farmers.
It's sad but the standards for what the US will let its citizens eat is far more lax then what the Canadian government allows.
Unless you have a free membership through a church or group, you must also consider the cost of the yearly membership fee into comparisons. I think we just renewed our Sam's Club fee for around $40.
Canada has a gov't monopoly on dairy, where a farmer is forbidden to sell dairy products apart from the quota system. We have 246% tariff on cheese, which pretty much guarantees that our prices are triple what Europe and the US pays. As our most favoured trading partner, the US should have challenged that system under the auspices of NAFTA a long time ago. Our citizens have tried to legally challenge but lack the clout.
Went to Costco, Brighton Michigan Feb 16th, got KS butter 8.49, 50 lb flour 13.39, Molson 28 pk 17.99 deposit, 2.80, choc chips 9.99, other various food good, I go about 1 time a month, but shop weekly at Krogers. Went to Gordon foods this week also to stock up on some sale items.
Thanks Katz!! Good to see! Although our AP flour was 20 kilograms which actually works out to 44 pounds..and so came to 27 cent a pound..so we were almost dead on..gosh I wish out butter was $2.12 a pound!!! Good Job!!
Here is another comparison. Bud beer in Canada-$48.00/24 pack. BevMo in Nor Cal-$21.99+CRV for a 30 pack. Don't know if Canada has a deposit or not. But at least they have FREE healthcare. ha!
great video i thought you were in Texas i am from the bootheel. i knew i liked you lol
I'm in Canada and shop at Costco. On anything dairy related, it will always cost more in Canada because we have a strict government dairy commission that ensures farmers will get fair prices for their milk. Another point is that our dairy products cannot contain growth hormones or other such health hazards, so the higher prices are worth it.
I always shop at Costco when we visit Michigan and find generally that prices are pretty much the same, but a few items will be less in the US like organic quinoa (now $13 for 4 lbs here – it used to be $9 last year), nuts and many toiletries and counter drugs like aspirin and vitamins. Spices are a bit cheaper and the Michigan stores carry a wider Kirkland selection, while the Canadian carries only basics like pink salt, pepper, cinnamon, garlic, red chili and onion. In the US, I also find other speciality items not carried in Canada.
I bought a one day pass for Sam's club in 2013 and found Sam's to be a bit more (not overly) expensive than Costco, but the liquor was cheaper at Sam's. In Canada, only government liquor stores are allowed to sell spirits and they love to tax us to death on them.
The butter price difference is because we subsidize the dairy industry to keep prices low for the stables of from this industry & we pay about $4 billion a yr and the Canadians don't do that.

The Difference in the Butter/Dairy price is caused by the goverment regulations in the dairy industry. In canada you cant just buy a farm and some cows nd start selling milk and butter they have a quota system in placed to keep the price of milk up. If you want to milk cows you have to buy a quota for each cow and it is a crazy price like 50,000$ per cow. Unless you can find a farmer that wants to sell his Quotas you can't buy any unless they happen to determine that there is more demand.
Very interesting, I need to take a trip to our Costco and see what the prices are here in East TN., thanks for sharing and tell Prepper A we said hello and thank her for the photo's she took, God Bless!
You gals shop by the month, I shop for when I can schedule the city crip/disable bus (and can co-schedule my helper to carry)…usually about every 6 months. Last whack was 700 bucks, but thats organic everything and tons of cat food, so I feel I did okay. Next time I go, I'll have to note prices, just so you'll have a California comparison.
Thanks!
I have a cousin who has lived in Canada for years. Historically items in Canada have be a LOT higher than Iowa or Colorado. Even the butter comparison is OK compared to that.
