    The grocery stores around here rarely have produce from the US anymore - not that we were buying it. Funny thing, after they started bringing in produce from other countries, the prices came down.

    Suits me just fine.

      I’ve got four grocery stores in town. Two are owned by Canadian companies, two by American companies.

      I shop at three of them (two US and one Canadian) but pretty much just buying the marked down 50% off meats and veggies.

      When given a choice I will buy the Canadian produce even if it is more.

      I won’t shop at the fourth place because the markup is so high even markdown goods are more expensive. The owner is a giant asshole, I used to work for that company in my teens and avoid it as much as possible.
