A new study shows that more than 50 per cent of Canadians are “strategizing” to keep their grocery bills down in response to rising food prices.
Sarah Chamberlain, a research associate at Dalhousie’s Faculty of Management, says “strategizing” means looking through flyers for deals, stocking up on sale items, planning meals based on sale items, making detailed lists, and choosing cheaper alternatives to the food usually put in the cart every week.
