It never used to be this way (it used to be quite a bit cheaper in the US) though I have to say in grocery stores prices still tend to be a lot cheaper (in net cost) in the US than in Canada.

I spent a week in Boston and New York the past coupla years and I found the cost of groceries about on par. I noticed that the same items in a Costco in Boston had the same price but in US dollars. Everything was more expensive.
