The shopping! You can't beat prices at a department store on clothing on a long weekend with a coupon for 25% off everything. I don't bother clothes shopping in Canada at all, I save my US cash and go on Black Saturday, where the prices are pretty much as good as Black Friday and not as crazy, or on Memorial Day weekend and come away with reams of clothes and shoes for under 500 dollars. And somehow they always have your size,unlike Canadian stores which tend to be picked over as hell, and I've never had to have pants shortened from the US. I like clothes shopping a whole lot.

MODERATORS
Relative to other countries, the US has much more competive industries and space for new entrants to grow. In Canada for instance many industries (banking, grocers, telecom, media, etc.) are each dominated by a handful of uncompetitive companies that exploit consumers.
To be clear I know that the US has this issue too to some extent, but it's better there than elsewhere.
