Default Quick Question For Our American Friends

next weekend I'll be visiting relatives on the boarder. I'm looking to pickup Russell Stovers chocolates as part of Christmas gifts.

Just curious what's their price in the US? They're $5 and change at Walmart here. I check the Walmart US site but it won't tell me. Just wondering if it will be worth my while to cross the boarder and load up on them there.

Wow I just checked CVS online and they're considerably more expensive, as is Walgreens.

Any idea what the Walmart price is?

Are you missing a digit? Do you mean $50? How much are you looking to save on $5 chocolate? Just out of curiousity, of course.

Should be significantly cheaper than Walgreens. Give me an idea of what exactly you're looking for and I'll check it out for you.

well if it was $3/box, stock up. Being a poor student I'm trying to pinch every penny I can this time of year.

I'm thinking with the other retailers being more expensive in the states, that Walmart USA is probably on part with Walmart Canada

But what about the money you're spending on gas? Surely getting your chocolate's closer to home be cheaper than driving to an American Walmart to just save two dollars.

I'm going to be on the boarder anyway. Plan to hop over regardless. Plus if you're buying for 10-15 people it all adds up.

I mean, I can check when I'm there, I just like to get this stuff done now and out of the way with.

Honestly, this time of year Walgreens is golden for chocolates and stuff. Great variety of goods you don't get over here

On the American boarder, eh?




I'm not sure how that will help you buy chocolates. Maybe they will give you some to get off of them!
