Yeah like they don’t get around that by wearing 10 shirts, 8 pairs of undies and removing tags and dumping the rest into empty luggage, lol. Take a look at any mall parking lot after this weekend and you’ll find find the proof laying there in piles. ---

Exactly. And not all of those people drive 8 hours to their destination. Not to mention when a group go they split all of the travel costs. Trust me, they are saving money. On weekends like this, it’s obviously a little less desirable due to the added traffic, but normally it’s a pretty sweet deal for them seeing as the Canadian and US dollar are almost even.
