Food costs across Canada are turning shoppers into store hoppers and deal finders, according to a recent survey.
The survey, which was conducted by Dalhousie University in Halifax, found that consumers are making around seven trips to grocery stores a month, which is up two trips from a 2018 study.
It also found that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians are seeking discounted food products, which include food near expiration dates. A 50 per cent discount is enough for consumers to buy expiring food.

Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland must be locked up behind the bars.
God damn Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland.
Richest country in the world ????
it doesn't mean the stores are losing any money on those sales as the prices are just going to keep going up as they never come down
Having one language printed onto your food packaging would also save a lot of money
the only places in the world outside france that speak french are africa and canada
its a pointless language unless you plan to move to haiti or sierra leone
Why is this even news? Yeah of course people bargain hunt, people always have. Its the people with more money than brains thatd just shop at the closest store without any thought as to prices. This isnt news
Carbon taxes will go up soon and so will everything else including food. We need a new more responsible Government that will regulate the various gouging industries and Corporate Monopolies.
Capitalism doesn’t care about everyday people, just the rich.
people love to complain, LOL get a better job, make more money on the side, were all in the same boat
Pathetic..
Can recall an entire life of comparison shopping via diffrent store chains, bargin hunting.. coupon clipping and such. Thought such activites were "normal." But guess everything before the internet and millineals never happened, and we must be re educated.
I have about 5% of my portifolio in AAPL stock, any advice on any other that I can grow my $200 k capital to a million dollars???
People can't afford non sale items because the PMO is patting off MSM with tax dollars to run his narrative.
I pray the CPC strip you of all funding & you actually have to work for a living
We can always thank the cause Trudeau next election, the guy that destroyed Canada
The more prices go up the more waste..
Nobody buys it so it sits on the shelf till it rots
and is thrown out… cuz nobody is going to
to pay 7 bucks for a head of cauliflower
Of course we do. No food lefties! Start supporting Canadian farmers. Don't allow socialist government. We need our food!
It’s important to save money by eating expired food in times of liberal communism
But we are sticking it to Putin, right?
Ya, Safeway, save on, half the time the produce comes half rotten.. they are stealing from YOU
No Ukraine first Canada Last ,when is incompetent and Corrupted Leaders like Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh Canadian will more suffer ,Send money to Ukraine and Media lies to Canadian.
She's still wearing that covering thing???scaredy cat

Hey, as long as Trudeau gets another $228,000 for his next 4 day vacation, i'm good with the high price of food, he's worth the cost.
We need a better responsible government that knows how to balance the economy
The corrupt authoritarian Trudeau regime's Canada
