We used to live in Vancouver BC and made bi-weekly trips down to Bellingham WA to stock up on EVERYTHING. In the Bellis Fair parking lot 75% of the plates were from BC. The cash registers had two cash drawers, one for USD and one for CAD. They were set-up to convert the price either way.
It was well worth it to declare what we bought, the border tax collectors got to know us and that we always reported what we had bought. Most times they just waved us through with no payment for anything.
One time I remember I needed a alternator for my Olds Omega. Price in Canada $ 70, price in the US $29.
Bought the alternator, changed it in the parking lot, took the core back for the $5 and drove back North of 49.
