There are differences in living in the U.S. and Canada. Here are a few: The milk is packaged differently, coming in a large plastic bag that holds 3 smaller bags. The small bags fit in a holder that is reusable. One must cut a small opening in a corner of the bag to pour. All packaging is printed with English on one side and French on the reverse side. Quaker Oats is a brand here, but is a separate Canadian company and the packaging is in bags, not the familiar can. Salt comes in a rectangular box with a metal spout on the side rather than a drum with a spout on top. Our citrus fruit is imported from South Africa; no California or Florida oranges or lemons here. A Canadian store that I really like is The Bulk Barn. It is full of neat rows of bins containing many types of flours, grains, nuts, teas, etc. I do enjoy experiencing some different ways of shopping.
