Grocery prices set to rise again in 2016

Food is expected to get even more expensive in 2016.
According to the University of Guelph’s Food Institute, the average Canadian household spent an additional $325 on groceries this year, and that’s expected to go up to $345. 81% of fruit and vegetables in Canada is imported, and the prices on them will go up by around 4.5% next year. Prices on meat, seafood and dairy will also increase.
But there might be something you can do yourself to offset the higher cost…according to a separate report, Canadian households on average waste $1500 worth of food every year by throwing it out or letting it spoil.
