Now it's the egg market that is taking it on the chin due to oversupply. I literally bought a skid of medium eggs at $.37/dz last week which we gave away one per customer. It's about the same cost as giving a pen or some other trinket away.
I enjoyed selling an Ontario restaurant owner who was traveling through the area $550 worth of cheese for his buffet this morning. The savings over prices in Canada must have paid for a nice bit of his trip expenses...
I wonder if he declared it at the border. If he did he paid a fair bit in duty. It he did not and got caught it was the most expensive cheese he ever bought.
The most you can legally take across for personal use is 20 dollars worth a person right now I believe. .

What does a customer do with one egg? Did you personalize them as well?
One egg per customer - now that would have been being a real tightwad at a cost of 3 cents per egg. We gave them away by the dozen... no personalization, but that's a great thought. Where are the advertising people that print logos on pens and caps? Surely it could be done on food... has modern technology seriously not come up with this yet?
