We go to the states probably 3 or 4 times a year....I love Walmart....we save it to shop in at night after dinner when we need to walk around and before we go back to the hotel...they are open either late or all night.......
there stuff is so much cheaper
I am a scrapbooker and things I buy here for my Cricut cutter are $20 at Michaels for 2 pads and Walmart in the states are $7.99 for 2 pads...

I personally go shopping in the US about every other week. If I am there on a Sunday I always pick up the Sunday newspaper for the great coupons. I have A TON of US coupons for food, personal care, cleaning supplies, etc. if you are interested in a coupon train just PM me.
Here are some sites to print online coupons:

You have to be in the States for 48 hrs to bring back $400 per person back to Canada. If you stay shorter than that I believe it is $50 fro 24 hrs but nothing for less hrs than that and not sure if you are staying longer how much you can bring back. Keep all your receipts as you will have to show them when you cross back over.
Little tip * if you are shopping for clothing items pack less in your suitcase and wear what you buy then shove it in your suitcase when you cross back over *without the tags* and throw the receipts out* Then you can buy more of other things with your limit.

We go about every week. It is not worth it to not declare everything. If you get caught, forget about shopping in the US again. The amount you have to pay for taxes/duty is really not that much.
If you buy clothing, you pay duty on anything that is not made in Canada, US or Mexico. Personally, I have not been made to pay duty often. Sometimes just the taxes. $10 maybe?

Makes me wonder with all the shopping in the states. WHY DOESN"T ANY STORES IN CANADA LOWER THEIR PRICES????

I travel frequently and I find the Canadian customs agents can be just as bad.
Exactly. It's absolutely not worth the risk of getting caught and having your passport flagged for 6 years of secondary inspections. Besides, there are many times they just let you go without paying any duty or taxes.
Because retailers here are still experiencing record sales. They have no incentive to lower prices when Canadians are willing to pay what the market will bear. The only way to send a message is to stop buying here.

I live close to Port Huron, MI and I go on a few shopping trips a year. Last year my husband and I went down in November when the Canadian dollar was worth more and did about half of our Christmas shopping there. We're planning on doing that again this year.

I was in Chicago at a Nike store there and I got clothes for my son for $4 each, tops and shorts....couldn't believe it.
On a recent trip (April) to Walden Galleria, I went shopping at JCPenny. They were having their buy 1 and get the other for .88 sale. I got 2 bags. Great deal!! I never find deals like that here.

Just an FYI to those who shop in the states...
I was in Kmart in Marine City, MI on Tuesday and tried to use a printable internet coupon. They are no longer accepting internet coupons as they have had problems with people photocopying them and presenting them. They do however accept the printable Kmart coupons which I believe you can sign up for on the Kmart website. These coupons are for $5 off when you spend $50+ but they have a quick expiry date.
I was also in Walmart in Port Huron, MI and they still accept internet printable coupons no problem.

We got Nike runners at JC Penney
Reg. $80, sale $60, second mark down $49.99, scanner price $39.99.
Then the cashier scanned her JC Penney flyer for the lady in front of us.
I asked if there were any coupons, and the cashier found one to scan and punched in a code.
Glad I asked. Final price $34.99. For Nike!
