The duty-free limits depend partly on how long you've been out of the country. But even for shorter trips (like a weekend in Winnipeg) I've bought at the duty-free shop. You do have to know prices, they aren't 100.00% reliably cheap.
At airports I don't know how they handle the new security rules on liquids, but I'm completely confident they do somehow; I'm sure the people in the duty-free shop would know, since their jobs depend on it. Or is there some other reason getting it to MSP would be an issue that I'm overlooking?
Yes. I did so on Monday. But I wouldn't buy anything at the duty-free shop at the Montreal airport based on price, unless you know the usual price -- their prices seemed high to me.
On the other hand, I bought a bottle of Sortilege (maple liqueur with whisky) because you can't get it locally.
Actually, we didn't - we bought booze in the Montreal airport and brought it on the plane with us to Chicago, and from there onto the plane to Minneapolis. No problems at all.
