Inflation: Here's how much food prices went up in Canada in February
Overall inflation may be easing, but Canadians have yet to see significant relief at the grocery store.
According to Statistics Canada's latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, food purchased from stores increased 10.6 per cent, the seventh consecutive month where Canadians have seen double-digit increases in the cost of groceries. It is a slight decrease from January, when grocery prices were up 11.4 per cent.
"Continuing to put upward pressure on grocery prices are supply constraints amid unfavourable weather in growing regions, as well as higher input costs such as animal feed, energy and packaging materials," Statistics Canada said in a release on Tuesday.
