As Lisa Aulbrook pushed her cart across the parking lot at Sam’s Club in Niagara Falls, she passed several vehicles with Ontario license plates. At one SUV, a Canadian family unloaded a cart filled with groceries, including four gallons of milk. Inside the store, Aulbrook chatted up a fellow Canadian whose cart contained three rotisserie chickens and a five-pound bag of mozzarella cheese.
Aulbrook, who crosses the border from Niagara Falls, Ont., to buy her groceries in the states once a week, loaded her own cart with rib-eye steaks, milk, Kraft cheese, hamburger patties, dog treats, butter and Minute Rice.

“This would cost $75 at home,” she said, pointing to a giant pork loin priced at $19.48. “It’s like a rich man’s food over there.”
