Our gas prices are supposed to drop a fair bit in Canada as the new
Prime Minister drops the Carbon tax but converting gallons and dollars
we've been paying about $4.60 a US gallon in US dollars which I think
is about 50% higher than you guys pay.. The carbon tax off gas will
drop that to closer to $4 here.

I remember hearing about egg prices in the USA due to the bird flu or
whatever it was, but it didn't seem to change much here. The eggs I
got recently cost me about $3.90, and have been at that level for
many months.. and I suppose you have to make allowances for the fact
that our dollar is only about 70 cents US at the moment so $3.90
becomes about $2.75..

Milk took a big jump a while back. Our 4 Litre bags are almost
exactly the same as an American gallon. I haven't seen the price
of milk there lately but our price is about $6.60, but not too
long back it was about $4.99 or less..

If accurate, looking online it appears the average US price per gallon
of milk is about $3.20 and our $6.60 allowing for the dollar exchange
becomes $4.62 or so, still a lot higher..
