Seasonal Pricing!

Another unique experience about Canada is Seasonal Pricing. I am sure that a lot of you may be puzzled about what I am talking about, however, this is something really different for us. Back home in India, when stuff is in season, prices are normally higher than they are in the off season. In Canada, this is quite the opposite.

For example, since it is summer, the price of steaks are a lot cheaper than they are in the winter. Logic says that this is because there is greater chance of someone barbecuing in summer than in winter. Conversely in India, the prices of mangoes are at its peak at the start of summer, they drop a little lower when the markets flood and drop considerably when the rains set it. This does not happen here.

Therefore, when you come to Canada, to visit or to stay, make sure that you buy things that are in season rather than off season. This way, you will enjoy better pricing, best quality and save more money.
