Have you seen inflation and the profiteering going on in supermarkets nowadays? My grocery bills have gone up 30% despite switching to the cheapest supermarkets and cutting out all non essentials. It's insane!
We live in a more geographically isolated part of Canada (ie: not a big city) and at this point, our monthly grocery bill is approaching our mortgage payment amount. I still have to drive to three different stores to buy basics, because they're all frequently out of stock for common items (like milk, sometimes). It's not uncommon to pick up 3-4 bags of groceries (no meat) and pay $150-$200.
We garden, and have birds, and even started raising dairy sheep to reduce costs, but it's still too much.
Yet, there are seven cannabis stores in town, and they're all well stocked, somehow.
