Food is too expensive!
Practical tips to keep dinner on the table
Mission statement
This project shares free, practical information about ways to keep fed and healthy as food prices go through the roof.
WIth grocery bills on the rise in Canada, more and more people are struggling to get good, affordable food. This is a serious problem that raises questions about our food system, but the more urgent question for many of us is: “How am I supposed to eat this month when this little basket of groceries cost me $50?!”
The internet is full of money saving tips like “Try switching from expensive cuts of meat to ground beef!” But what if you were eating ground beef already? This advice is for people who already know that store brands are cheaper than name brands, cooking at home is cheaper than eating out, and it’s a good idea to bring a list when you go to the store. These tips won’t solve the root causes of hunger, but they might help us get through it.
