   Our gas prices are supposed to drop a fair bit in Canada as the new   
   Prime Minister drops the Carbon tax but converting gallons and dollars   
   we've been paying about $4.60 a US gallon in US dollars which I think   
   is about 50% higher than you guys pay.. The carbon tax off gas will   
   drop that to closer to $4 here.   
      
   I remember hearing about egg prices in the USA due to the bird flu or   
   whatever it was, but it didn't seem to change much here. The eggs I   
   got recently cost me about $3.90, and have been at that level for   
   many months.. and I suppose you have to make allowances for the fact   
   that our dollar is only about 70 cents US at the moment so $3.90   
   becomes about $2.75..   
      
   Milk took a big jump a while back. Our 4 Litre bags are almost   
   exactly the same as an American gallon. I haven't seen the price   
   of milk there lately but our price is about $6.60, but not too   
   long back it was about $4.99 or less..   
      
   If accurate, looking online it appears the average US price per gallon   
   of milk is about $3.20 and our $6.60 allowing for the dollar exchange   
   becomes $4.62 or so, still a lot higher..
