- The pace of inflation has slowed in recent months, but that doesn’t mean that sticker shock has stopped for Canadians.
New Ipsos polling done exclusively for Global News shows 83 per cent of people across Canada say their weekly grocery bill has increased in the last six months.
More than a third say their weekly grocery bill has increased by up to $50 in the last six months. A quarter say it has increased between $51 and $100.
Global’s Anne Gaviola has more.

But think about all the wonderful things you’re doing to reduce climate change 😂😂😂😂😂 What a joke!
Nothing to do with the carbon tax tho… these supermarkets are still making record profits. Price gouging and monopolization are real problems in this country
@@daniellai7712 Carbon tax is applied to food producers and the added expense is passed on to consumers.
and its all intentional
You know its messed up when they disabled and elderly can barely pay for things.
They can't even use food banks.
They don’t vote so the liberal or ndp don’t care.
@northernbarbarianxyz exactly and it's despicable I know two families personally going through a rough patch but we all are and those at the top like Justin Trudeau has no idea what it's like to make ends meet 😢
8 out of 10? Who are the other two that do not believe it increased , Trudeau and Freeland?
Liberals and the NDP
You need an Ipsos poll to tell you the obvious, Global?
And it's only going to get worse...
2024WORLDWIDEPROTEST is the only way we can get our normal lives back. Who’s with me!
Groceries are out of control , stealing will increase.
This is what you get when you vote for Trudeau!….We need an election now!
Carbon tax. So now we shouldn’t have another forest fire.
and influx of people still not stopping
The other 2/10 can't afford to go to a grocery store and are either going to a food bank or are homeless and dumpster diving.
Thanks for Trudeau
*corporations.
That puppet really has no power.
Ya guess what, don't blame everything on food, it is everything like taxes, insurance, gas, and utilities.
My grocery store valu mart..... Whole chicken.. $2.49 lb.. 3 weeks later... Whole chicken..$3.49 lb ... And they tell us prices are starting to come down.
That's absolutely terrible why do we have to put up with how bad of a joke Justin Trudeau is as far as the eye can see Trudeau and his government has no common sense or common decency I have more pity for the oppressed than the oppressor😢
Thanks Trudeau
Where are the other 2 shopping? I need to go there!
Dumpster diving thanks to JT and JS
'bout a year late, Global. Nice to see you here.
I want to know who the 2 out of 10 are in this poll that haven't noticed a much bigger grocery bill.
Justin and Sophie.
In other news grass is green and air is invisible 😂😂😂 yea the groceries here are getting to prices of gold 😂😂
I have to cash myself out at the grocery store, bag my own groceries - with bags I had to bring from home - and return my buggy to a usually inconvenient spot just to get my coin back from it... All while paying increased prices everywhere I shop. And all these grocers say they're not gouging or falsely inflating anything. Don't tell me you're making up for COVID sales losses, because you were one of the only kind of shops allowed to be open through the whole thing! Even when supply was delayed or low - you were earning.
Canadian food stores banked *six billion* dollars profit in 2023, all while claiming they were offering fair prices and hadn't fixed the market.
You've laid off cashiers, but didn't hire me to do it, yet still I am. I think every self-checkout should come with at least a 5% discount for you doing the work yourself. After all Metro, Loblaws/Superstore, No Frills (remember when they were the cheap one???), Sobeys, Longo's, Food Basics, et al - you have $6,000,000,000 lying around.
To all the socialist out there welcome to socialism dont worry its gonna get worst.FJT
Prices go up every week. One loblaws store I shopped 2 weeks ago put every item in the store up $2 to $ 5. Very huge sticker shock. I am a senior on very fixed income, and I cannot afford food
"Canadians are doing better than they were before."
Combination of inflation and gouge-flation happens meaning further inflate prices as much as the company can get away with
Plus add the carbon tax on top of it.
Nice to see loblaw making millions in profits
Actually Loblaws is not making millions in profits. They’re making billions. Every quarter.
Trudeau Canada.
i m going to keep voting trudeau and liberals because i love to pay high rents, mortgages , gas and carbon taxes. i believe trudeau deserves to go to jamaica again with all the tax dollars canadians gave him
When three people own every store in Canada they can charge whatever they want .Why anyone goes there is a mystery must be dumb.
2 out of 10 people polled live in their parents basement and don't pay for groceries
the other 17% havent gone grocery shopping this week.
What happens to the unsold expensive meats, fruits and vegetables from those grocery stores? Honestly, what happens to those expensive foods when so many families can't even think about buying? Where do the expensive foods go ?
Unfortunately they throw it all in the garbage :(
The biggest grocery sticker shock I ever experienced, was when I moved from Southern Ontario to Manitoba in 1996. Prices there were through the roof. Can't imagine what it's like now in 2024. You can keep it!
Yes groceries are more expense its for sure
8 in 10 say food has gone up in price, the reaming 2 just can't buy food!
This is ridiculous. Come on Trudeau do something man. 3rd world countries have more food than us 😂
With all the heavy equipment for sale, because to expensive to operate trucks and equipment so there won't be anything in the stores or the price even higher with no trucks to deliver 😉
most of the food for this country is freighted in with diesel as its fuel. when diesel is expensive and has additional taxes on it absolutely everything transported with it becomes more expensive.
most farm equipment also runs on diesel.
Gas station near my house is charging less for Diesel than Regular.😂😂
I limit my grocery to 1 bag. I grow my own veg through Winter and know the fresh veg I eat are free from pesticides , and don’t cost anything to ship.
We will own nothing and be happy.
A great half decade of inflation this is looking more and more like the 70s every day
I only buy sales and discount items
Why do you say 8 in 10? Sounds like a trudeau thing. 4 in 5 when you reduce it.
Who are the 1 in 5 not affected?
People are going to start little farms in their condos they rent with livestock
& the world is round 🙄
People skip meals daily, some goes days without eating. People are going to food banks in record numbers never seen before. Security guards patrol grocery stores because of people stealing. Yet in Trudeau’s mind Canada isn’t broken. People shouldn’t have to go without meals, food is a basic human right. It’s a necessity. All the grocery stores care about is how much they can gouge consumers for everyday items. I don’t know how those ceos sleep at night. They should be ashamed of themselves. Resign Trudeau, even a whipped dog knows when it’s not wanted. Canada is broken Trudeau, and you’re the one who broke it.
don't worry, just go to food banks like this international student - mehul trudeau brought over.
Why are they shocked??? they voted for this.. Canadains want to be poor. Vote for Liberals and NDP.. more and more
Why do money lending practices vary among different groups of people? Why are some individuals required to pay interest on loans and mortgages, while others are exempt? These disparities warrant further investigation.
@@fairchildcreekKeep it out of Canada...
@@fairchildcreek . While there are claims suggesting higher costs, they lack substantiation. Do you have any concrete evidence to back up these assertions?
@@fairchildcreek The purchaser does eventually own the property. The bank shares property ownership with the client until the loan is fully repaid.
@@fairchildcreek In cases of foreclosure, Halal lenders also provide unique features like ethical financing, transparency, and co-ownership reduction over time. They share the risk with the client. Some providers even introduce an equity buffer, allowing you to pay in equity if you cannot afford your rent.
@@fairchildcreek As well, Muslims are not the only 'special' group of people who receive interest free mortgages and loans.
Yesterday I went to Walmart bought a little bit of groceries and it came up 200$, Jesus Christ.
But I am told by our almighty leader Justin Trudeau that we get a rebate for this. Canadians get over a thousand dollars in rebates every year, using Liberal math - we still come out ahead, even if groceries increased by $50 a week.
Carbon Tax
There will always be a carbon tax Poilievre can axe it but it will just become more expensive and invisible unless he wants to do nothing about Climate Change like Libya and Afghanistan.😂😂
@@Sam19509 Canadians are already overtaxed. That's why the carbon tax won't work. At least the government could reduce income taxes so people can pay carbon tax.
@@cuybueno lol the carbon rebates pays more than the tax to most people. I know that for a fact because I am one of those people my family owns only one car and I take public transit to go to and from work and the gym.
@@Sam19509 How do you know that? Have calculated the carbon tax on the groceries you buy, how about clothes for yourself and you family, does the transit system you take have any diesel bus, they pay carbon tax on the diesel, the gym you go to , how do they heat their building, if they use fossil fuels they are paying carbon tax. Should I go on? Unless you are able to calculate all the invisible carbon tax on everything you buy how can you say that you getting more back than you pay??
@@theowoytowich9959 lol because all that invisible carbon tax you pay goes into the same pot exclusive to your province. And the rebates are equally distributed and the same whether you’re a high carbon user or live under a rock and use no energy.
