Canadians will have to pay an extra $966 for food in 2022, with COVID-19-fuelled supply chain disruptions, labour shortages, adverse weather, transportation challenges, and high inflation all driving up grocery costs, a new report says.
Canada’s Food Price Report (pdf), published Dec. 9, predicts that an average Canadian family of four will pay a total annual grocery bill of $14,767 in 2022—an increase of up to $966 for the same family in 2021.
