Our biggest issues with groceries is my gluten and soy allergies. These are allergies and not choices. So this doubles the cost of many things. We recently found a local farm, with a green house that for $15 a week has been delivering more than $15 worth of greens and squash etc from the fall. It is really saving us $ on produce. And having fresh greens in eastern Canada in the winter is amazing! I canโ€™t wait for their summer basket.

I'm not sure why North American food prices have gone so crazy... it's like we're paying off some huge bill that nobody is aware of...

No lies detected ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ when i zoned in on my grocery bill I was floored at the leakage that was happening in that corner. Now I take full advantage of the weekly specials at my regular shopping spots. Donโ€™t sleep on strategic shopping and those membership rewards programs, those weekly price drops are the difference between โ€œsweaty cheddar and no cheddarโ€ ๐Ÿซฃ
