Not really, food in US is cheaper than Canada, or at least Vancouver.

Fruit is cheaper in the US than in Canada. Due to warmer weather in the US, they have longer growing seasons than in Canada.

It depends on which cities and what type of fruit you are comparing.  

For example, Apple, which is also grown around in Interior, the price in Vancouver is comparable to Washington state.  For Asian fruit, Vancouver likely has better price than Seattle, as we import more.

Dairy products and eggs are much more expensive in Canada, no matter how much you buy.

Well, I am in Stupid Cow town ..  so .. in general, fruit/dairy product/milk etc ... is half the price from US...

Say milk, we bought some organic milk in Seattle, $2.99 (or 3.99?) for 2L .. vs $3.99 for ONE L here ...

Anyway, we all know everything is cheaper in US then the rest of the world in general .. and yes, it is also true, "RICE" price is only small % ..  one bag of rice is good for a yr or 2 ...  but few % here, few % there .. it all add up!

And we can't get RAW milk here at all!! I visited my friend in SF and I would love to try out raw milk...

I think the closest place I can get it is from Washington states...
