It all depends on where you go. I was in Kelowna last summer and Idaho. My money did go further in Idaho but that is not really comparing apples to apples. Your comparing a tourist hot spot to ....... Idaho. Of course it will be cheaper. If your comparing the lower mainland to say Seattle it will be a wash. I just went there and factoring in the exchange rate I was not further ahead. Meals still massively overprices. No deals to be had a grocery stores. Everything else was the same.
Long story short going to the states just "to save money" is a foolish proposition. Go visit because you want to.
