Growing up in British Columbia in the 90s, it was a pretty common thing in college to cross the border at Blaine (there was a Grocery Store right on the other side of the border, and was one of the few American places that took Canadian currency without blinking), and we always brought back lots of milk and butter. BC, of course, had fairly strict dairy quotas. So, in a province with abundant farmland, Milk/Butter/Cheese were expensive enough that was worth a trip across the border to stock up.
