I was just in San Francisco for the Thanksgiving Weekend.

While there, I thought I'd see if there were any major bargoons to be had. I ventured into Costco in Foster City and frankly the prices were a bit cheaper, but nothing to make me stop and buy anything.

For example, 4 Gillete Fusion razor pack (my brand, so I know the prices)

$49.99 in Costco Toronto

$41.99 in Costco San Fran.

At the time, the C$ was about 95 cents, so, that makes it about $45.00.

Is it worth it for 10%??

Same story for clothing. Yes, it's cheaper, but not that much cheaper.

I think the one place you might see better deals are cars. New cars in the US are decidedly lower than Canada.
