Interesting - I visited the East coast a few time last year, and found
things to be alot cheaper - mainly due to the exchange rate.
New Hampshire (tax free) is just over the border from where I visit,
and there is a Costco there too, which is often cheaper than the other
stores in the area (and they have a worldwide guarantee).
