Good times, good times. Except Target wasn't any more useful than the rest of them.

True. Target was just there, not being anymore useful than its competitors.

I thought you say for Canada “Expect Same, Pay More”

USA target always costs way more. If it’s $50 at Walmart it will be $60 at target. Uppity snobby People shop at target because they take Walmart is lower class. There are a few Walmarts near me North of Boston that are so trashy I try not to even go there go lol

They didnt switch to one currency, of course one is going to be higher

Because all American magazines have to be translated to Canadian.

Its the exchange rate. Gotta be. LOL

Target was another U.S. retailer established to rip off Canadians. A pair of jeans normally selling at most Canadian retailers for $30 was available for $26 at Target, but Target sold the same pair of jeans in Buffalo, N.Y. for $8.

Right? I had to pause it when she said that.

i think thats why it went out of business in canada... it was a dump and prices sucked here thats for sure.

@@666dynomax The prices didn't suck. The selection did. Even Zellers had better selection.

So buying a used car is better? Someone told me brand new cars are better are right or wrong? Let me know asap

CDubs HasIt "Certified" means absolutely nothing, that's a scam in itself

They usually come with warranties... Avoid buy here pay here lots and avoid brand new vehicles unless you just like losing 25% of your money not to mention on a new car every service must be performed by the dealership ON TIME no matter what to keep the warranty. Not so with certified used.

Travis, there is no federal sales or VAT tax in the U.S.

There is no federal sales or value added tax in the US.

Choi Jongho is tiny how did you think that did you live under a rock

I know your comment is 3 years old. But the US is literally the cheapest country in the world for consumer goods.

The US model is so decentralized and taxes are so low obviously the purchasing power of a US citizen would be higher than ours. It's just a different structure both have flaws

With sales tax and income tax.

Paul Williams you have a difficult time with common concepts huh?

Paul Williams nothing is free, genius

There is also the higher minimum wage (have to charge customers more to pay employees more and still have the same levels of profits).

You should move done there...

green tea I know. Try Boston to Seattle and you will flip!

Garrett Kajmowicz What social benefits cause a store to charge more in Canada but not in the USA?

Garrett Kajmowicz Tax payers foot the bill for our social benefits, not corporations. Canada has a very business friendly tax system. Corporations just know they can get away with it because of our lack of choice.

politcally correct so corps are not footing the bill for taxes on goods, higher income tax, and the like?

Garrett Kajmowicz TAX IS NOT INCLUDED IN THESE PRICES

That's not entirely why, admittedly, that's HALF the reason why we pay more, but America is just a big bully on our backs who will always make sure we get crappier deals, even if we got rid of our free healthcare we'd still be paying more unless we let the US annex us.

S. Thomas Lewis what they should have done is Toronto with Manhattan NY 8.875% Niagara Falls New York 4% or Newark and Elizabeth NJ 6.875% which will be reduced to 6.625% on January 1st 2018

There is no comparison favorable to Canadians unless they were shopping for Maple Syrup and even that is priced by Canadian Government! The villain is Capitalism and its greed for profiteering and monopoly.

@@homayounshirazi9550-- yeah, the capitalist side of Canada gouging them. Wait, in USA they get gouged too!! basters businesses..

Try South Africa... We pay minimum 3 times more than anyone else for any product. Always the same excuses too, import costs, blah blah blah. Yet if I pay stuff from over seas and bring it in import costs are ridiculously low and I still spend half of what I'd pay in S.A itself. It's just a means to make more money always. Let's face it, no big company(and for that matter, rich person) ever got rich by NOT exploiting people and Africa is one of the most exploited places out there. Heck, some of our best fruit gets exported to the UK leaving us with the crap and we still pay twice as much for it. It even includes things like broadband connectivity where we end up paying 10 times more for speeds 25 times slower! I haven't been to Australia, but I do have some family that moved there and they reckon it ain't so bad in terms of pricing, perhaps that is because they still view it in terms of Australia vs South Africa and not like you(a life long citizen? ) would view it, America/Canada vs Australia. Oh well, enough of my rambling.

Yes but the comparison is that US and Canada are bordering countries and one item made in Canada is sold cheaper across the border in the US. Doesn't make sense and not to compare with every place on the planet.

+Luciano Lopes Lima Yes good point.

howl try to shop in Brazil..........

Try Britain. And Denmark. And Japan.

australia is an isolated island ofcourse it will cost more

Thats because the amount of money to ship all that stuff to ya'll is crazy.

rpgvag Yeah true thx for the reply!

Yeah... No. That might account for a small amount of it, but mostly you just pay more for the same reason we pay more in Canada. "Because we can get away with it."

FDJustin Yeah i get you

Unfortunately Australia is a small market and is far enough away from most places that Australians can't easily purchase in other markets.

@@jimbaritone6429 I remember that. Feels pretty bad now. Exchanging to USD now is like watching all my money disappear into the ether.

@Sade Cameron - LOL true & the dollar has gone down quite a bit.

thats very subjective.

That's about right for the most part. What wasn't explained in this video also is that alot of our electronic products have to be csa approved to be sold at stores. I found this out when of all things, I went to buy a LED aquarium light of a certain model and my order was refused. Of course it was alot cheaper than anything allowed to be sold here, so it was a no go for me. Luckily I have family in the states who can buy me stuff and send them when I can't directly buy certain items. What a sh*t show.

Portugal is a third world.Incomparable to Canada. However, Bell is an Indian company design to rip off white people in Canada. You are dumb if you sign contracts/plan with Telus, Bell or Rogers... They all are rip off regardless of their background.

That's the way to do it

@J OneLife That tax isn't included in the base price either, it's added at the time of sale. In addition to that 14% sales tax, we have a 30% of our wage withheld by employers to pay our income tax. In BC we pay for healthcare, but our taxes are higher than provinces with free healthcare.

doesnt excuse 87% increase of a Canadian produced product

no prices are all sans sales tax. Which on it's own it's double that of some states in the US

So you suspect the same as me the government is going to hand and ripping us all off.

tow master where in Canada the minimum wage is $11 lool and who told you every provinces has the same minimum wages?

where in Canada is it $11 and federally in the US its 10 something now so technically since the dollar is stronger they get paid more than 11 Canadian dollars. now when it comes to the states every state is different some are pretty low some are higher than Canada's.

the minimum wage in washington (USA) is $11-$15

keyse jama depends what part of the country you live in because California minimum wage is 11.50 and San Francisco is 15 so yeah

In most states of the US the minimum wage is actually around 9-10 now. Where I live in Texas my friends that work at Walmart and McDonalds are making 11-12 bucks so... Also the US dollar is slightly stronger than the Canadian dollar so they about even out. You still pay around 20-50% more for anything you buy in Canada though along with higher taxes lol, nice try but maybe go be a smartass somewhere else

Higher wholesale price as well for business as you buy less than USA

Greg Boyd not really because we still have cheaper prices than Canada when you add it all up plus we do have a high minimum wage higher than Canada in some parts of California

The prices of electronics and cars often have to do with tariffs and trade deals. Cars are more expensive in Europe than in Canada and the US.

Debatable. If the engine truly is shot, (and we assume Katelyn isn't a professional mechanic with access to a shop), then the price of a full rebuild, or an engine pull and swap can both end up costing a significant portion of the cost of a new car, and can (and almost always ALWAYS does) lead to chain reaction failure in other systems down the line. From a longterm economic standpoint, unless you have the knowledge and tools to do it yourself, buying new is almost always the better option than an engine rebuild or swap. You rebuild a shot engine because you have a sentimental attachment to the vehicle, not because it's the best investment of your money.

Buy a pre-owned car with low mileage, But even an engine swap would still be cheaper than 20k for a new car lol, it's not like your dropping a v8 jaw-dropping motor in the thing. I mean is it worth it? I would say no, them VW bugs are cheap and are not meant to last. I'd find a pre-owned car with low mileage for as much as it would cost to fix that VW, at least in the US you can find them private dealerships that deal with low mileage cars for as much as it would cost to replace the motor and they would probably sell to Canadians.

Snoopy Schulz Right! Had a quote of $2100 USD to replace the 3.1 v6 motor in my aunts Monte Carlo (Broken camshaft). Or it could cost around $1500 to rebuild the old engine, with new valves and bearings. We ended up doing it out selfs for little under $300 bucks lol and some free time. It still way way cheaper then a new car, and the Monte carlo has only 125k miles, so it worth saving.

Viking Dude right on ! replacing an engine with the same unit it came with is literal plug and play im glad you did it yourself and saved a bundle !

Even if it cost 1/6 of the price of a cheap new car, why would someone rebuild an engine on a car like that. You have no idea what you're talking about. Once the engine is seized in a car like that, it's basically only good for parts or scrap. Depending on the age, mileage, etc of course.
