This is Canada
Grocery prices inched up another 0.3 per cent during the month of December, and have increased by 11 per cent year over year. That’s a slight slowdown from the 11.4 per cent pace the previous month, but plenty of food items are still getting more expensive, particularly fresh vegetables, which have gone up in price by 13.6 per cent in the past year.
Higher food costs
In Toronto, shopper Kara Manovich says she’s noticed the price of just about everything is skyrocketing lately.
“I’m just taking the approach that there’s not much I can do … we’ve all got to eat,” she told CBC News in an interview. “I can’t starve, sadly, so I’ve just got to roll with the punches, I guess.”
About an hour’s drive away, in Burlington, Ont., Rick Squires has a front-row seat to high food prices coming in and out of his business, every day. He’s the general manager or Roseland Produce, a food importer that ships fresh produce all over southern Ontario.
