An average family of four can expect to spend more than $300 per week on food this year, according to Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab and a professor in food distribution and policy at Dalhousie University.

The estimates for 2023 food costs are detailed in the latest issue of Canada’s Food Price Report, which Charlebois co-authored.
