been here since June of last year, s& vinegar everywhere, and its really good. If you want a fantastic salt and pepper then go to Aldi, as long as you arent a snob. Best ever. Its called Clanceys, not sure if its with an e or without, either way, they are delish. They sell Kettle chips at a ridiculous price as well. Fortunately my husband doesnt much like Salt and Vinegar so i get to scoff them all on my own

@robin, what is LCBO and NYS? WSWYM...thanks

LCBO is Liquor Control Board of Ontario, they are the government entity that sells booze in Ontario which like a lot of Canada is heavily controlled by the government.

I assume NYS = New York State.

Our liquor stores are pretty small and limited in BC when compared to the vastness of booze sections in WA and CA stores where the booze aisle in a grocery store can have more selection the our liquor stores, and of course way cheaper on the US side of the border. (I have no clue how Oregon does booze, never been there.)


Have several brands of salt and vinegar here, and my wife found them in San Diego stores, so maybe the availability of that flavor is region dependent?

I love trips across the border to US grocery stores, so much selection, so many products and brands we don't have. I know some Canadians who do almost all there grocery shopping in the US because the selection in BC is kind of sucky as is the selection in most of Canada.

US grocery stores are superior to what we have, both price wise and selection wise.
