“Inflation is the spectre that haunts almost every economic conversation in Canadian kitchens and living rooms these days.”

A new study by the Angus Reid Institute has analyzed how Canadians are reacting to rising food prices across the country. 62% of Canadians say they’re now eating out less due to increased food prices in Canada, while 46% say they’re switching to cheaper, lower quality brands at the grocery store.
