Food is one of the largest weekly expenses for the majority of Canadians; it’s a necessary cost and therefore can often make or break a budget. Seasons, stores and even the weather can all dictate how much we spend on our food. While most financial experts suggest that we spend no more than 15% of our income on food, it can be very difficult to achieve this. Let’s take a look at how much Canadians are spending on food, both on a national and provincial level.
