As expected, Wal-Mart's announcement was just the beginning.

Now, Sears has announced that it is lowering prices due to the strength of the Canadian dollar: http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/f...e3&k=41897

I've also made an observation recently, has everyone else noticed that you're getting a lot more American coins in your change since the Loonie climbed above parity? It used to be pretty common to get American pennies in your change, but nickels, dimes, and quarters were much more rare. That doesn't seem to be the case any more.
