I checked out the currency of canadian dollar and google “said” to me that it’s 1:1.010611 Does it worth to travel from Canada to US for this low saving? I mean, considering the expenses for gas, etc… Anyway, great idea!

Yes, that´s why my premium membership on eslpod.com was a real bargain. Dollar/Euro ratio is near 1:1,5 although that´s not so good for the european export industries

Hey , why does the eslpod.com spell check red underline the adjective EUROPEAN ?????????????

Now all is cheaper US than any euro zone country en Europe. And I don’t want to speak about Spain that is the most expensive of all.
Everything is too expensive here, and if I look for the prices in US dollars by the web and change to euros, U.S. prices are half or less than here where I live.
But the only thing that I can buy are books or similar, there are many resctrictions about sending other things, and you have to pay the cost of sending the books.
Despite it, sometimes are even cheaper.
There is a very good news that people are collecting used clothes to other poor people that may need them. That’s great, a very genial idea, good for that charities organizations and for Canadians that do leave the used clothes in the bins………..but I suppose that clothes are not rags, that should be very bad aptitude.
Thank you Lucy it is a peculiar and curious information about people behaviour. We all take note to do the same if we go US on shopping.

When the dollar is low in values, few tourists visit the Brazil, It´s bad for us…
The South Brazil is next to Paraguay a small country famous by yours shoppings and electronics stores from China.
When the dollar is low too many people go there to buy products for sale. The problem is that each people there is a small limit to spend, so it´s common
the fiscalization to catch their goods. The fun is that each day the people find a new way to circumvent the law.
