I used to go to Ogdensburg--until I ran into a Border Nazi...wanted me to pay duty on ALL my groceries (300%). I was over my 10 kg limit on chicken (we feed it to the dogs) and my $20 of dairy. The BN threatened to go through all my declarations for the past 5 years and make me pay the duty... I didn't pay the duty--I went back and the US border guards told me to try another crossing. BUT, when I went to MN in July, the US border guys in the Soo asked me about "that incident" in May.
I've been reluctant to go grocery shopping in the States since then. I know my license plate is flagged...and, this was when the Cdn $ was at par. So, I'd be a little hesitant to go on a quick jaunt across for groceries now with the dollar stronger than the US $.
