Food Prices

[brett]

Our food costs in Canada have risen considerably-most especially imported items.

But our eating habits have changed. We eat ,by choice, much less red meat, smaller portions and just about zero prepared foods other than a Costco BBQ chicken. We spend more on fresh fruit, lettuce, veg,etc so cost wise it is probably a wash. Almost zero butter,milk but a fair amount of cheese.

And we feel much better for the change in diet and the resulting weight loss.

If you've got a big enough freezer seems our one local grocery stores always has some sort of meat at really good prices. Chicken goes on sale for $0.99 family pack I'm freezing chicken, hamburger $2.50/lb in the big tube I'm slicing that into 1 lb sizes and feezing, etc.

All gotta do is on food-porn day (Wednesday) read the food inserts in the newspaper, always something worth buying to stock up on.

Too funny! But true. A new trend I'm seeing emerge is double up Wednesday, meaning both last week's and this week's sales prices apply. Gotta love that.

I got a standalone freezer a few years back to stock up on sale items, left overs and garden produce.

Chicken breast are 95 cents/lb this week so loading up on those. Also one of the local stores ( not a chain ) marks down the meat pretty good when they put the fresh batch out. I get ground beef for 99 cents, pork chops $1.59, steaks for $2-3 depending on the cut.

Use the food inserts also; however I find many times the "sale" prices are still higher than walmarts everyday price
