Title: Expensive magazine prices in Canada!
Post by: Stormcloud on November 12, 2007, 11:29:40 PM

What is with the magazines charging two dollars more for the same magazine in Canada than the US.  Don't they realize that the Canadian looney is worth more money than the American dollar now. That is right, something like $1 American will only buy you 92 cents Canadian.  The high price was fine it a different year, but get with it, the price now of the magazine should be cheaper than you pay in the US.

It's about a buck for now . . . with respect to the price difference, the transportation costs from printing source to p.o.p are the major variable.

An american 6$ magazine costs around 10-13€ in Austria - major reason I stopped buying those magazines.
