Big truck parked in Tulalip, WA , gotta love the Americans.

But Bellingham, I’m sorry that cars with B.C. license plates are noticeably clogging up your streets, filling up your parking lots and probably causing a lot of frustration but it’s because…

• Gas, less than a $1/litre ($1.29 is a bargain here) 
• My jeans that I pay $75 for, I bought the same ones for $33
• CHEESE, 2.5lbs of cheese for under $7, I bought FIVE POUNDS of cheese…FIVE!
• Pomegranate juice, my $13 juice is $4.50 over there
• Trader Joes, I love you but hate you because you make me so sad that you are not close by and that I cannot bring home cheap booze and produce like bananas, 29c for organic bananas, I pay 89c… did you know that bananas are Walmart’s #1 seller?
• Cherry Icees from Target - well Target in general, again you make me sad. I bought Monopoly for $13 for the game that is $19 on sale up here

That is pretty much my $130 haul minus the gas but add in two sweaters, , lots of dried fruit, snacks, more juice and a giant icee, it was so giant that I started to get jittery from all the sugar.
