Excluding gasoline, headline inflation would have been 4.0% in June, following a 4.4% increase in May.

Canadians continued to see elevated grocery prices (+9.1%) and mortgage interest costs (+30.1%) in June, with those indexes contributing the most to the headline CPI increase.

The all-items excluding food index rose 1.7% and the all-items excluding mortgage interest cost index rose 2.0%.

    Join a CSA / buy direct from farms.

    Sounds good but I can get all my groceries from Walmart and have next day delivery for like $7. I would love to ditch Walmart, but not having a car makes me value the logistics a lot.

      Look up “farm boxes” or “farm co-ops” in your area.

      My brother lives in the city but get a big box of local produce delivered weekly. It’s really cheap too for how much he gets. I’m pretty sure the program is just called “local farm box” or something like that.

      The massive chains are always the cheapest in town. Until they’re the only ones in town, then the prices rise. This is the strategy, they kill local businesses then set the prices.

      I appreciate the choice many be difficult for you as an individual, but appreciate you are making the wrong choice. I need, and sometimes just want, to make bad choices too.
