Here's the story:
I'll be spending a few low-budget months at my family's cottage in Muskoka this summer, leaving from the USA. I'm trying to save money on food since it tends to be more expensive in Canada, so I was thinking of getting some pantry staples like flour, sugar, beans, canned tomatoes, etc. at a Costco in either Pittsburgh (the closest American location to the border for those cheaper American prices--is that still true with how strong the dollar is?) or in Barrie (1 hour from the cottage), where I'll definitely be stopping for cold stuff.
Then, I discovered Bulk Barn. There's one right in town next to the grocery store we usually go to (the very expensive but many potato chip-flavoured Robinson's Independent), but I've never been inside and don't know everything they have.
Here's where I need you, oh Canadian Mustachians: is Bulk Barn awesome enough that I can skip the Costco run in Pittsburgh? Can you give me an idea of prices for things like coffee, spices, dried beans, peanut butter, tortillas (if they have these things)? Thank you!!
