Nearly 60% of Canadians prioritize discounts on expiring food, survey says
“It’s basically three Canadians out of five have switched grocery stores. And so it means that the market is looking for good deals and more deals,” she said.
According to Canada’s Food Price Report 2024, prices are expected to increase by 2.5 to 4.5 per cent in B.C., which is on par with the national average.

@Snowshadow I wonder if the conclusion of reduced wealth of the people is correct. For example, I heavily prioritise expiring products (where I'd take something for today that is expiring even if it doesn't have a discout) to combat food waste.
@Snowshadow for sure, I just wonder how contaminated statistics are with people like me. I guess I should read the study instead of speculating :D
@jonn Well, I will say this, most people I know are not thinking about salvaging food to prevent waste, they are trying to make their dollar go far so their children don't go hungry.
Times are tough for many people.
@Snowshadow to be fair, I'm moving to a zone 2 apartment in #London for the first time in three years in order to cut living expenses by a factor of two. This way I will be able to reduce my salary while still maintaining the same levels of support for Ukraine.
@jonn I am sure Ukraine appreciates your help. That is good of you to think of this.
@jonn People are stretching their grocery money as far as possible. Prices are skyrocketing.
