Default Cross Border Shopping

Hey Everyone

Looking for a trip to our southern neighbors because my in-laws are visiting.

We're in Calgary so I was looking at Montana, but the shopping doesn't look that good for the mother in law.

Any suggestions for driving trips to the states from Calgary, mainly for shopping?

Hope everyones enjoying summer!!

Cheers
Wayne

How far are you willing to drive and how long in the USA?
Great Falls and Helena might be a nice couple of days out.

Thanks for the info, I'm hoping for 6 hrs maximum each way. Probably stop there for 2 - 3 nights

Semi related question to shopping. Are corn tortilla's allowed back across the border from the US?

Sounds odd I know, but I cannot find authentic one's in BC, and thinking of bringing a box back from California, but not sure if its permitted.

If store purchased and commercially packaged then should be no problem.

Thanks. Yes, they would be store bought and commercially prepared and packaged.
