If you're American and aren't sure where to shop
The conversions you didn't know you needed... Let me make it easy for you.
Emilie Hofferber
Canadian Rockies, Canada
Grocery Stores: Sav-on, IGA, Safeway (Canmore), Nester's Market (Jasper)
RV Supplies (in a pinch): Canadian Tire, Walmart (Calgary only)
REI???: We have MEC, it's in Calgary and it's great.
Starbucks: Skip, either try Tim Hortons or go local.
We use kilometres, not miles. 1.6km = 1mi
And metres, not feet: .3m = 1ft
Prices are shown in CAD, not USD. You can use a currency converter app if you are uncertain but if you have USD you'll appreciate the price that shows on your bank statement.
