They are a 1.50 in the US too? This might be the first time ever that a company did not raise the price of something in Canada.....lol...Couldn't resist. Costco is a once a month visit for us and always get the hot dogs before going, cheapest lunch in town.

Heck, I've seen ads now for cashier training, and bank teller training, janitor certification, front desk hotel training and so on.

Seems you need training for almost anything these days....lol

In MA, you need to do one of those certified courses and get a health and safety food handling certificate if you want to work behind a bar. Don't need one to be wait staff, which is why they don't get you any drinks behind a bar here.

Surprisingly Strongbow is widely available here in GA. I always have a 6 pack in the fridge, in case of emergency like Nutek. I had to go and check the label and they are indeed made in Belgium.... Cheeky! I thought I was contributing to the economy back home. Now I have to slow down my consumption

Stella Artois's cider is good too, it's also widely available here.
