Forget about bringing your beer over the line, ours is much better. Bring your quota of Liquor you'll make up the difference on our high beer prices.

I thought I read a case of beer over there runs about $35. Over here I can get a case of Labatt for about $18 after bottle deposit. Is the beer $17 x 2 cases = $34 better?
BTW, I'll be bringing the biggest bottle of Captain I'm allowed(:
TAXES…
If the price of Booze up here scares you wait until you buy some Fuel ……….
It always gets me why people will ensure they can get by with the cheapest of anything including camping at Wally World while in Canada then in the next thread someone will complain about they roads are un- paved or in very poor shape, the best one was the toilet paper was empty in the Out House near Banff.....
A good deal of the High Prices of Booze and Fuel is tax…Provincial and Federal Tax
I also look to save as much money as possible in these days of inflated prices, however if everyone that is passing through to Alaska, or just making a short trip into Canada doesn’t purchase anything, who is left to pay for the improvements to our roads, campground, Federal and or Provincial as well as our Parks…. I guess guys like me that live up here year round.
TAXES….Thats why you pay more, just like the rest of us north of 49.…….....................and our Booze up here is better… hicK-uP...
Thanks I had to vent… now I will go pay my over due Property Taxes….. of $3000.00.............

Hey Soup, you're loony if you think we won't be dropping a load of loonies (ha I made a funny) while we're in your backyard. In fact, I plan on grocery shopping less than 10 minutes off the bridge. I know you were generalizing, understand your point, and can even relate a bit. There are quite a few Canadians driving over the river and through the Michigan woods without stopping to buy anything on their way to other parts of the US BTW, 2 cases of beer will definitely not be enough (yes damnit I'm the one sitting by the fire late at night drinking) so I plan on buying some of the "good stuff" too!
Not Loonie...... Twonie.......... must be the expensive beer that got to me….one more point out where I come from 6 beers is a ½ sack, 12 is a case and 24 is a flat, so a case is only $24 bucks..

The last half dozen or so times we have crossed with the treller in tow over the last 2 months; the biggest concern was from US Customs over the potential transportation of fruits/veggies. I have even declared OVER the allowable limit for booze in both directions and been waved through.....
To the OP: Relax......bring your cheap beer Canada Customs won't bug you.
Someone asked about fuel??.....average in Southern Ontario TODAY is $1.24/L or ~$4.68/USG
No discount for cash.

The last time my wife and I crossed the boarder going to Florida we stopped at the duty free to buy beer. I always thought there was a two case limit. They had beer was on sale 3 cases for whatever.I asked how many cases can I take across the boarder. The answer was " You can take as many cases as you can consume in the time you are away." I took three cases and headed south. Hugh

No sir, you are the OTHER one sitting by the fire late at night drinking.
I could sit by the fire beer in hand till morning comes (or I run out of firewood). The most relaxing thing in the world to me...
