Beef buyers eye Canada Mexico on border shopping trips
The rising price and scarcity of beef push Americans to seek bargains in Mexico and Canada. Texans and Californians have long known of Mexico’s deep discount on lean hamburger and steaks with notable savings, while some border cities report minor gains in Canada. Border officials note 20 to 80 percent increases in Americans returning with Mexican beef, and shoppers in Tijuana and Nuevo Laredo describe lines and large purchases. In Canada, savings exist but are smaller and offset by tolls and extra travel. Also reported: Nobel laureate Dr Selman Waksman, 85, dies in New Jersey. Rutgers microbiology chief co discovered streptomycin. Clarence G Stround, 66, Dallas comedian, dies.
