CDN $ doing good today

[DutchsMommy]

I was looking at the flyer about 10 mins ago and I was wondering if it was a typo!!! I was thinking, for 10 bucks the whole thing could fall apart after one trip and I wouldn't care!!

I just saw on the news that the dollar closed at 81.04 today! Yay!!!

I thought the same thing. I was expecting to read in Mondays paper about a Sorry for the inconvenience note.
The luggage is really a super deal. I wasnt even going to bother because I thought it would be vinyl..

I also came across (while picking up my Sea World at par tickets) at CAA very good sports bags for $5
A lady in front of me bought 12 One for each of her grandchildren. She said it would be cheaper than Christmas wrap and they would hold each childs presents. Paper you throw out and these bags were like an extra gift!!


Have a disney day

OT-Does anyone know where to buy PAP here in canada or online anywhere-Can't seem to find them on the Disney site.

You have to place an order at the DS, they do not keep them in stock normally.

Ask about what price you will be paying, the exchange rate when it was ordered or when it is picked up!

Do I physically have to go to a disney store or can I order them online?

 

[Susan--Ontario]

I think you can order then by phone and then go and pick them up. Ask what the price will be. They don't tend to change them along with the fluctuating dollar. That said, I bought mine in the spring at $1.35 exchange rate. I thought it was a good deal because the rate was $1.38 then.

I would have been better off to wait. However, those passes are long since paid for and I don't have to have the money when I go NEXT week!!!!

 

[mom_rules]

Is there a store in Mississauga Square 1 still? Anyone have the number?

BTW Just bought US At RBC 1.23

 

[mom_rules]

Just heard on the news-economists are predicting the $ going to .90 before year end!!

Today is best close since Sep 18, 1992.

@10:00 am today

RBC 1.238
TD CT 1.242
CAA TC 1.2383

 

[mousy_in_canada]

Why is that so different than Ex.com?
I got

1.00 CAD Canada Dollars = 0.822245 USD United States Dollars

1 CAD = 0.822245 USD 1 USD = 1.21618 CAD

 

[FatCow]

XE.com uses actual exchange rate whereas banks already 'tacked-on' their fee exchange rate fee.

 

[mousy_in_canada]

That makes sense, the bank adds a service charge. The billions they earn each is just not enough for them.. lol.. My sister works at Royal Bank and they made so much money last year and yet they can't allow her to buy a stapler because of budget cuts, they have also reduced her hours so that they don't have to pay her benefits.. got to love banks!

 

[mom_rules]

Could it be?

@ 11:00am today
RBC 1.22
TDCT 1.24 (they are showing 1:00pm Nov 3rd but it's only 11:00am now?)
CAA TC 1.23

 

[Susan--Ontario]

I just called TDCT and the exchange rate as at Nov. 3, 11:00 is 1.238000.

 

[mom_rules]

Didn't make alot of sense the way they had it on their site did it?

Funny how much the rate has changed for the better since this thread was started?!?

Anything else we can do?

 

[Figment's friends]

I just saw on the news the Canadian dollar has hit a 17 year high!!!!
