It’s hard to believe that the summer is almost over and school is just around the corner. If you haven’t done your back to school shopping yet, you should consider doing your shopping in the U.S. this year.

You can find great deals in the U.S. on everything you need to start the school year, including school supplies, clothing, shoes, computers, electronics and more, often at significantly lower prices than you would pay in Canada.

End of season sales on clothing and shoes make now a particularly appealing time to shop in the U.S., providing for even more savings than usual.

If you stay overnight, you can also take advantage of the new higher duty free allowances.
