1 US $ is equal to 1.6 CAN $ right now, so that would
make the $80 CAN convert to around $50 US. Still a
bargain to NY people...but then again, everyone in NYC
makes $300,000+ a year, right? LOL
Now if this cold will just go away...the Theraflu is
$8 a box...that's $12.80 CAN, for all of you with a
cold in Canada <wink>
