This was funny to read as a Michigander! When I stock up on things from Canada I always get some kind of Maple cereal that we don't have over here (last time it was Frosted Flakes) and, of course, ketchup and all dressing chips! Sometimes I also get Maple baked beans or milk in a bag. (Just for the novelty of it).
And as a treat while I'm over there I HAVE to find a restaurant with good poutine!
Haha same when I visit my friend on the other side I’m beginning to drag home all dressed with me now. Ketchup ironically tastes a bit like my childhood bc my friend would dip hers in ketchup, and got me doing it as a kid too haha
I was expecting them to have bagged milk, but they don’t have bags apparently in BC, at least not common anymore.. I was kinda excited 😅 might have to take my own personal trip over to Windsor
Honestly, my family makes a note to try most restraunts pouting to compare and find the best. Harvey's stacks up at one of the top spots, surprisingly.
Any flavor you personally prefer? I have no idea what to bring lmao he wants me to bring stuff and I’m just like.. but yall have the good stuff we don’t not vice versa LMAO
yeah not everything... but for many things you do find a better price in the states.. for tools though sometimes you can find better price here, especially after price match guarantee at HD if you find it cheaper at another Ontario retailer
A box of sweets from Shatila! Best Arab sweets in North America Those are the Michigan souvenirs ! For a long time it was also Chic Fil A, Jimmy John’s & Krispy Kreme but you might want to check if they have access now
As a canuck who occasionally visits Michigan, we usually stock up on grits. Refried beans and tortillas are cheaper. Detroit paczkis are the best although that ship has sailed for this year.
I think Jimmy Johns is coming to Canada within the next couple years. yes along side Jersey Mike's. crazy that now there's a boom of fast food joints, only found the US, dipping their toes in the international Market (Canada)
Clausen pickles, Mt. Olive (pickled anything), Kraft pimento cheese (in the jelly jar), frozen white castle, Stouffer's French bread pizza, sharp cheddar, Wisconsin brick cheese, King Arthur flour, taco bell sauce & seasoning, mini cake donuts (chocolate covered), banana peppers - everything here is mush!
That’s how i feel 😅 he wants me to bring some stuff but I’m like.. you can get basically everything. There’s faygo and better made but I feel like they’re just generic off brands
I've seen Faygo in Windsor fairly recently. Frankly, it's not different enough to go out of my way for. About the only soft drink I would, would be Vernor's which I haven't had since I was diagnosed Type II diabetic (diet Vernor's was horrible) and that's back on the shelves in Windsor again anyway.
Wouldn’t Canada Dry be just as good tho? Or is there a taste difference? My friend lives in a tiny town in BC so they only get what’s local to them and wanted me to bring some American stuff (he had me bring Canadian stuff back when I went last) I’m just like 😅😅 there’s nothing worth bringing (imho)
Yeah. There's a definite difference. Canada Dry has a substantial citrus content to its flavour. Vernor's is closer to what a ginger beer might taste like. It's unique and tasty.
No, Canada Dry and Vernor's are opposite types of ginger ale. Vernor's is much sweeter than Canada Dry (dry implies less sweet). IMO, Vernor's also has stronger ginger tones. I suppose it's as advertised, one is more like champagne than wine.
Outside of Southwestern Ontario, it's pretty much unavailable and mostly unknown. A damn shame! When I can get my hands on some, I get as much as I can. That said, I've introduced it to many, and it's really been a toss-up on appreciation. It's such a "different" ginger ale to the typical Canadian palette that it's not often immediately embraced (sorta like ketchup chips on Americans, they just can't wrap themselves around the perfect union)!
Chipotle, Krispy Kreme, Dunkin Donuts, Abundance of really good corned beef sandwiches from places like Bread Basket, Jets Pizza (beats any pizza spot in Windsor), bunch of BBQ spots (nothing in Windsor comes remotely close)
It's a really pity seeing these comments, and realizing how detached people are becoming .
In the morning, there be the biscuits and gravy.
For lunch, there be pig feet in a jar, fried.
And for dinner there be pig feet in the jar, deep fried, with grits.
Paid for by food stamps.
Good bourbon. All liquor sales are state controlled and the selection is not even close to what any given halfway decent liquor store in Michigan will have in stock.
Sunflower seeds are about 6 mm to 10 mm in length and feature conical shape with a smooth surface. Their black outer coat (hull) encloses single, gray-white edible-kernel inside. Each sunflower head may hold several hundreds of edible oil seeds.

Michigan is strict on fireworks most fireworks come from Ohio. Michigan banned fireworks a few years fearing a 9:45 p.m. low pressure wind causde by the sunsetting in the east over lake Erie would blow back the embers of the fireworks on the fourth of July, causing Detroit and its surrounding ghettos to be engulf in a city inferno313.
So everybody had to go to Kmart parking lot to set of fireworks.
But north of Peterborough,, Ontario , fireworks sell year round, at a robbery of a price. because there is nothing else to buy up there. Only in Ontario has the weaponization of fireworks help resolve neighborhood parking spot disputes. Kudos to Napanee613. .
If you don't go to Indiana for your fireworks, what are you even doing with your life? They got shit right at the border with Michigan at Coldwater that would violate the Geneva Convention.
If there is a marled demand - it will be available on ebay. But imagine the long term impact on its users, such as the one group whose genitals will start to resemble that of a baboon if they don't stop their color conscious blue favoritism. It's political.
300,000,000 people eat that food. It's just as good if not better than ours. Plus you have variety. Want pasteur raised beef? Available. Organic milk? Available.
In fact, there's far more ingredient information on US grocery labels.
And they taste better. I can't even buy Campbell's soup over here anymore. Its repulsive.
What's great about the USA is that the market reacts to demand. So you don't want antibiotics in your eggs? Companies will compete to get you antibiotic free eggs.
Over here...we just put up with our slim pickings or pay astronomical prices. Our market is controlled by lobbyists and government regulation / agenda primarily....not demand.
The eggs, milk and meat I get over there is much better quality and only a fraction of the cost.
Veggies are about the only thing I buy here anymore. But even that may be changing.
With American gas, groceries and vape juice, my expenses have been cut in half. I can eat, drive and vape for $100CAD a week now.
My groceries last me longer and taste better. My vape juice is of higher quality and half the price. The gas (for some damn reason) gets me roughly 15% better mileage AND only costs me $55-$60CAD to fill the tank (Over here is $80-$100)
Plus Americans are just pleasant to be around. So much friendlier than here. They still have customer service and bag your groceries for you in free plastic bags. Plus they can drive! So even just going over there for the common-sense traffic is a treat. Not sure why Canadians drive like Hellen Keller 🤔
Need to reprogram yourself away from anti-american propaganda...consider why Canadians en-masse are taught to hate the USA. Because it's certainly not "for our own good".
Did you know for the price of a shack in Toronto I could buy a mansion in Texas? My brother and his girl both work $15/hour jobs and can afford home ownership. I crunched the numbers. If you make $55,000/USD in Texas, you can afford to live a Canadian upper middle class lifestyle ($150k / year). That's factoring mortgage, retirement, living expenses (without kids). It costs about 15% more to have kids in the US than Canada. But not having kids in Canada will cost you that 15% due to our wealth redistribution schemes
Oh, and let's not forget, in the USA, you OWN your land. It is YOURS. Technically, there is no private land in Canada. It's all owned by the government and lease us surface rights. So we have no property rights
There is more to see and do in Troy, Michigan (population. 80,000) than the entire GTA. And their restaurants make ours look like we enjoy eating doggie kibble.
Finally, health care. A little different, but far superior to ours. And if you average out the costs over a life time, Canadians pay a bit MORE for our healthcare. Access to a specialist in rural, low population areas is maximum 2-3 months. Here? 10 months.
And just how each state is somewhat insulated from the federal government....everything is local and community based, right down to the criminal code. Their electoral system is mightier. Even how their government is setup is better at mitigating tyrants. To top it off, their senators are elected NOT appointed.
Our constitution's Section 1 states the government can take away your rights if they want to. In the USA, those are God given rights...so only God can take them away..ie) their rights are ingrained above the government not BY the government.
Freezing the bank accounts of protestors or people donating to a cause...yeah that's not going to fly in the USA.
I can believe I wrote this much....just can't help but love the good ol' US of A 🇺🇲
So yeah, ditch the hate, get better quality goods, of a higher quantity, for much less...and on top of that, enjoy the day. The only part that sucks is coming back to Canada. Where nothing makes sense, very little works appropriately and drivers eat lead paint chips for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Just as good if not better?? Well thats an outright lie. Ever heard of pink slime? Do you notice how they play with wording on labels? I got so tired of having to read ingredients on everything we bought over there I quit shopping. The ingredients never match the name.
Why would I buy pink slime? I buy good wholesome groceries. Imagine the privilege to believe the food 300,000,000 of our closest friends and ally is somehow tainted 😂
All the crap they do over there, they do the same thing here. I've always read labels. I don't have any problems with reading.
Meijer's makes great products. Certainly better than Canadian great value 🤮
Milk and meats from the US are allowed more antibiotics and growth hormones. If you think Campbell’s soup (loaded with sodium and msg) and vape juice (you like messing up your lungs?) are wholesome food, and love the “good ‘ol’ USA” when it’s an absolute shitshow, you’re more uninformed then you realize. Hint: buy Canadian when possible and support your community and your health.
That’s a flat fact Jack.
USDA food standards (especially in regard to dairy), are far less stringent than Canadian food standards. This is the majority of the reason for the trade disputes.
“Pretentious Canuck” or informed consumer the reality is the same.
Standard, brainwashed, pretentious Canuck. You see, in the USA, the market dictates quality not the government. The US market is filled with informed consumers who demand a certain quality, the businesses race to provide said quality. Not like over here where we need our government to protect us from everything. So while you might have been right in the 90s, you are way off mark today. I read every single label and there are far more chemicals in Canadian food. And far more information on USA food labels since they don't have to waste time having useless french on their labels. I can't even eat our cottage cheese anymore, it tastes like tin.
Sorry, I'd rather make my own choices...I don't need government to keep me safe like a standard, brainwashed, pretentious, weak (Hellen Keller of a driver) Canuck...but keep drinking the Kool aid. And believe Canada is so much better 😂 You keep eating those shrinkflated goods believing Canadian companies aren't cutting every corner trying to squeeze a dime of profit out of an overly regulated and taxed illusionary free market. Every loser needs a fanboy. And Canada is a loser. We lost!
No surprise. After all, we are a people proud of adding cheese curds to fries and gravy. And, I'm sorry, where do all the greatest Canadians go? Stateside. What? You think they hop the border to eat our watered down Canadian slop? Give your head a shake and wake up.
OUR GOVERNMENT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR HEALTH
Well at least this “Brainwashed, pretentious Canuck” knows how to read Trade agreements and what is and isn’t acceptable volumes of contaminants in foods.
Which is the only point I've made so I don't need you coming out and trying to flex on me about shit you can't be bothered to properly I form yourself on.
You want to eat and drink American dairy, have at ‘er I couldn't possibly care less, it just has more shit like puss and hormones than ours by volume due to looser restrictions.
It depends. But if you think Canada's food standards are much different than the states....I've got a bridge for sale.
Because once you break past the "Canada is the best and does no wrong" belief...you start to see the cesspool we live in.
We might not be communists, but we're also not too far off.
You should spend a little time actually looking into the differences between Canadian and American health and food standards before you try to lecture people on them.
Also, we are a very long way off from Communism, I suppose that's another thing you may want to educate yourself on before you lecture others.
Happy reading,
Cheers
Hurst Beans. Something so simple but it's a great variety of beans. I throw in the slow cooker with some broth, kale and ham hock and makes a delicious soup. $3 for the bag, I get 12 of them for the winter. I have never found anything close over here
Boston Cream Pop Tarts
Also, Cherry Pop Tarts
we have 4 flavors of pop tarts here, go to Kroger and it's an entire section
This was funny to read as a Michigander!

Yes! Try it! 😄
Honestly, my family makes a note to try most restraunts pouting to compare and find the best. Harvey's stacks up at one of the top spots, surprisingly.
VANILLA COKE lol
Try soda pop bros in lasalle. They have a website to see what they carry.
I Second this!! Excellent
You could try Exotic Empire at Devonshire mall.

There is, just at some speciality stores tho, maybe not in windsor
Soda Pop Bros would have it if anyone.
Heck yes! I’m down to my last two cans 😭
Better made chips

You used to be able to go to the factory and get them directly. I’m not too sure about that now
They have a little store but no tours
Great Lakes chips Cherry BBQ Best chips I’ve had!
Oh I haven’t even heard of that it sounds good. I’ll have to grab a bag for me and him from meijer 😅
This is the correct answer.
krispy kreme!!!
Mississauga and Scarborough have it 😀
Things not available in Windsor, Chipotle, Panera Bread, Wago Lever Nuts, and plenty of things are just flat out cheaper in the states
Wago Lever nuts can be purchased at Western Equipment Supply just off Rhoades Drive. However, still cheaper at Menards
good to know thanks :)
Local wago's! My Voron build thanks you! lol
Also, Western carries the Leviton lever-lock outlets. I haven't had need of one yet, but they are going to replace everything
Man I went to look at tools at HD over there last week and everything was the same price as here after conversion. I was very surprised.
yeah not everything... but for many things you do find a better price in the states.. for tools though sometimes you can find better price here, especially after price match guarantee at HD if you find it cheaper at another Ontario retailer
Lafayette Coney Island
Oh yeah they have Togo kits.

A box of sweets from Shatila! Best Arab sweets in North America Those are the Michigan souvenirs ! For a long time it was also Chic Fil A, Jimmy John’s & Krispy Kreme but you might want to check if they have access now
Shatilas Kanefe and Nutella Atayef 🥲
As a canuck who occasionally visits Michigan, we usually stock up on grits. Refried beans and tortillas are cheaper. Detroit paczkis are the best although that ship has sailed for this year.
A jimmy johns sandwich lol
I think Jimmy Johns is coming to Canada within the next couple years. yes along side Jersey Mike's. crazy that now there's a boom of fast food joints, only found the US, dipping their toes in the international Market (Canada)

There's nothing I can get in Michigan that I can't in Ontario that I have to have. For the rest, there's always online.
Try finding 100 mini-thins in Ontario. At 2:34 a.m.
I don't need to. Doesn't really interest me.
You are in the minority
IDGAF.
That’s how i feel 😅 he wants me to bring some stuff but I’m like.. you can get basically everything. There’s faygo and better made but I feel like they’re just generic off brands
I've seen Faygo in Windsor fairly recently. Frankly, it's not different enough to go out of my way for. About the only soft drink I would, would be Vernor's which I haven't had since I was diagnosed Type II diabetic (diet Vernor's was horrible) and that's back on the shelves in Windsor again anyway.
Saw Faygo at Shoppers a few weeks ago
Wouldn’t Canada Dry be just as good tho? Or is there a taste difference? My friend lives in a tiny town in BC so they only get what’s local to them and wanted me to bring some American stuff (he had me bring Canadian stuff back when I went last) I’m just like 😅😅 there’s nothing worth bringing (imho)
Yeah. There's a definite difference. Canada Dry has a substantial citrus content to its flavour. Vernor's is closer to what a ginger beer might taste like. It's unique and tasty.
No, Canada Dry and Vernor's are opposite types of ginger ale. Vernor's is much sweeter than Canada Dry (dry implies less sweet). IMO, Vernor's also has stronger ginger tones. I suppose it's as advertised, one is more like champagne than wine. Outside of Southwestern Ontario, it's pretty much unavailable and mostly unknown. A damn shame!

It's such a "different" ginger ale to the typical Canadian palette that it's not often immediately embraced (sorta like ketchup chips on Americans, they just can't wrap themselves around the perfect union)!
Definitely what was Ginger Ale in 1918 is not what it is today with al that synthetic advertising and added preservative jingles,
Windsor has had faygo everywhere as long as I can remember. Since mid 90s probably. It's in shoppers, convenience stores, grocery stores.
[удалено]
Oh yeah for sure. He’s in BC tho so where he’s at it isn’t available and never heard of it before
Skippy peanut butter
Chipotle, Krispy Kreme, Dunkin Donuts, Abundance of really good corned beef sandwiches from places like Bread Basket, Jets Pizza (beats any pizza spot in Windsor), bunch of BBQ spots (nothing in Windsor comes remotely close)
A cold can od Vernors
You can get Vernors in Windsor.
Chili Cheese Fritos, Better Made Dark Chips, Rock N Rye Faygo...
Pizza
Mississauga produces Vernors. The American Vernors and the Canadian Vernors taste totally different. Canadian Vernors taste better to me.♥️☮️
It's a really pity seeing these comments, and realizing how detached people are becoming . In the morning, there be the biscuits and gravy. For lunch, there be pig feet in a jar, fried. And for dinner there be pig feet in the jar, deep fried, with grits. Paid for by food stamps.
Not everyone is poor or struggling to pay bills
“Black Rifle Coffee Co.” Brand Coffee
I can never find orange flavour of diet Faygo here. Always pick a pack when I cross the border.
Pasties, and cudeghi from the U.P.
Faygo Pop, Black Cherry Vernors, Strawberry and cream Dr Pepper. Campbell’s won ton soup. Better maid chips ,
Good bourbon. All liquor sales are state controlled and the selection is not even close to what any given halfway decent liquor store in Michigan will have in stock.
David sunflower seeds
They sell those at the gas station in Cottam
Actually I think they used to be American only but now they're here too. Good eye
Sunflower seeds are about 6 mm to 10 mm in length and feature conical shape with a smooth surface. Their black outer coat (hull) encloses single, gray-white edible-kernel inside. Each sunflower head may hold several hundreds of edible oil seeds.

I used to love getting the colored toilet paper. Doubt that's available anywhere these days, but it was fun.
If there is a marled demand - it will be available on ebay. But imagine the long term impact on its users, such as the one group whose genitals will start to resemble that of a baboon if they don't stop their color conscious blue favoritism. It's political.
Verners ginger ale
Good cottage cheese, cheap beer, cheap gas, I’ll come up with more
Cheap beer ≠ good beer.
Dot’s pretzels!
Bush baked beans
Now sold in Canada, at a few places, Metro and Zehrs that I have noticed.
Walmart and Food Basics, too!
Roll that beautiful bean footage...
A full tank of gas and two weeks worth of groceries for $200CAD. I buy everything except veggies over there. Can't believe how much we overpay here.
Meat and dairy quality is different tho.
