I live in BC, and I was shocked to find US prices on many grocery items way higher than in Canada, even accounting for the exchange rate.

Example: a box of mini wheats cereal was $6.98 (about $10 Canadian))in California; the very same size box in BC(made from Canadian wheat) was $6.99 Canadian (about $5.00 US), and is frequently on sale for $3.98 Canadian.
