I actually live in an area where a round trip of ~650km (400 miles) every 3 months is cheaper than buying from the local chain stores.
The upcharge on my dog food alone pays for my gas ($80CAD/BAG vs $100+shipping), and the distance is why I chose a PHEV over a full electric. If I had believed Musk and gotten a top end cyber truck with its "500 mile" range, I would have gotten stranded trying to buy groceries.
And before anyone comments on the price I pay for dog food; it's literally the only dry food I have found that doesn't upset her stomach, and even all the raw food brands I have tried upset her stomach occasionally.
I do not believe you
The closest Walmart is a similar distance in the other direction.
The "wholesale" here bulk buys from Costco and adds $1-10 to the price tags depending on the item. At $80 per tank of gas, it's very easy to justify the trip.
Damn, Canada be wide
