00:00:00to have his way without having to use force, we don't just report the news, which
00:00:04outlet are you with, the Canadian public broadcast, we connect the dots, is it
00:00:07about stopping drugs? Donald Trump has never met a hydrocarbon, he didn't cover it, get
00:00:11the facts that matter, why is that your
00:00:13of focus right now, from the source you can trust, the National, Canada's
00:00:17newscast.
00:00:26a "We're digging
00:00:30into your grocery prices. My monthly grocery bills starting to look
00:00:34more like my monthly mortgage. We have $5 to work with, that's a
00:00:38tight budget. How far is your money really going? So we're going to
00:00:42give you 100 bucks when you come out and we want to see how much of your weekly
00:00:46grocery that will actually cover. I think it's getting harder and harder to manage
00:00:50a fixed income, and it's not sustainable. We reveal the
00:00:54extreme ways people are trying
00:00:56a to keep up. At one point we were deciding whether or not
00:01:03of of a roof..." over ahead or putting food on the table, taking your bills and our questions to the top for
00:01:07answers. what are you doing right now to bring down high grocery prices for all
00:01:11canadian? this is your
00:01:13marketplace.
00:01:23what do you think about grocery
00:01:24in prices these days? too high, we're approaching strangers for
00:01:28a reason. thank you, i appreciate it. thank you. because before you can understand what's
00:01:32driving food prices up, you have to talk to the people paying them.
00:01:35everything is so high, they're insane. most shoppers seem to be
00:01:40of asking the same question, how did food get so
00:01:43expensive? my monthly grocery bills starting to look more like my monthly
00:01:47mortgage. every shopping cart tells a
00:01:49story. what are you shopping for? for my wife and
00:01:53myself, what people can
00:01:54of afford, what they can't, so we're uncovering how far
00:01:58Canadians are going to fight. soaring grocery prices
00:02:02from savy strategies to desperate measures, they'll
00:02:05pass, but talk as they say is cheap, so we're
00:02:09putting money where your mouth is. we're going to give you 100 bucks and
00:02:13we want to see how much
00:02:14of of your weekly grocery that we'll actually cover. okay, let's shop. okay,
00:02:18let's shop. we're calling it the $100 challenge. what does
00:02:22that kind of cash get you? at discount brands
00:02:25of the big three grocers? for law, it's no frills. for
00:02:29metro. Food basics and for Sobies, it's
00:02:33Freshko, six families, six grocery lists,
00:02:37six locations. First
00:02:41up, personal trainer, Alex Martin, shopping for his wife and
00:02:44two sons. I got the good stuff. If I have to cut back in
00:02:48other areas eat better quality food, that's something that I'm going to
00:02:52prioritize for me and my family. So, will 100
00:02:56bucks be enough? It's good price. Got lucky.
00:03:00the kids like the uh cosmic crisp, these are the best ones, but the most
00:03:04expensive ones, the only apples his kids will
00:03:07eat. with the exception of few kids snacks,
00:03:10alex prioritizes healthier everyday staples. this
00:03:14is for the protein smoothies that i make in the morning, but what will those
00:03:18choices
00:03:19cost?
00:03:25here we go, okay?
00:03:30What's the total? Oh, the damage, we got a
00:03:34$175. The
00:03:38big ticket item, pack of chicken breast,
00:03:43of $22.91,
00:03:44of with tax
00:03:45$175.11.
00:03:4975 over. Alex isn't surprised.
00:03:52No, not the way I eat, and what do you mean by that? Well, like I
00:03:56said, we prioritize whole foods and... Check out the
00:04:00cost of chicken breast, its peak this year, it was
00:04:048.8% higher compared to the year
00:04:07before. We share our results with economist Jim
00:04:10Stanford and Professor Mike Von Masso
00:04:13of the University of Wealth. Demand for chicken went up because price
00:04:17of all proteins went up and chicken is a is a cheaper option. Then you
00:04:21also had the supply issue relative to chicks, so
00:04:25demand went up, supply went down, and that's all been compounded by the fat
00:04:28around protein. everyone's saying I need to eat more protein.
00:04:32Other price hikes from Alex's shopping list, frozen fruit was
00:04:36up 8.5% year over year, and bananas
00:04:40a were up 11.5%. What's causing that
00:04:44price increase? There's a new
00:04:45of banana fungus that's affecting crops in several
00:04:48of the different supply countries, so
00:04:49a that combined again with high diesel prices from the war in Iran and the cost
00:04:53of shipping, that explains the increase. So you
00:04:57wrote to us and you said families are really. feeling the pressure, how
00:05:01much pressure are you guys feeling? uh,
00:05:05we we definitely notice it when you're paying more for your gas,
00:05:09you're paying more in property tax,
00:05:11of you're paying. more for kids activities, it it it just definitely starts to
00:05:15add up in all facets of your life. Oh, it's like ridiculously
00:05:19high, I can't believe it. Next up, Connie Tong, she
00:05:23knows what it's like to struggle while growing up, and again when her
00:05:27husband was laid off. At one point we were deciding
00:05:30whether or not we should choose a roof over ahead
00:05:34or putting food on the table. Now, on
00:05:38maternity leave with reduced income, higher grocery prices are pushed.
00:05:42her family to the limit, we now have to rely
00:05:46on my husband's income, and so and that could
00:05:50be quite stressful as well on him. tight budget means tough
00:05:54choices. something like beef uh, which we used to eat
00:05:58often, now the prices of beef is risen so much that it
00:06:01becomes like luxury for us, so we often don't
00:06:04buy uh beef now. prices are changing the
00:06:08way she shops and what the family eats. we buy stuff.
00:06:12on sale and then try to meal plan from what's on sale as opposed to the
00:06:16opposite where
00:06:17you know if there's something that we want eat we would buy the groceries at the
00:06:21store she checks the apps to see what's on sale strawberries on sale
00:06:25oh looks like buy two and get 300
00:06:28points nice and heads straight for the deals let's see
00:06:31if connie's strategy pays off what i really want
00:06:35it pass for the most part the cost
00:06:39of groceries has increased faster than infl According to
00:06:43Statistics Canada, Canadians are paying almost 30% more for
00:06:47groceries compared to 5 years ago. The
00:06:51federal government says it's trying to help earlier this year,
00:06:55introducing the groceries and essentials benefit for qualifying Canadians
00:06:59and later unveiling the first ever national food
00:07:03security strategy, more than $3 billion in this strategy of
00:07:07investment to tackle the challenges in our food
00:07:10system through targeted. and investments to help create more
00:07:14affordable, sustainable and resilient food supply chain in
00:07:18Canada. Canada's big thre each take in
00:07:22tens of billions of dollars a year. Jim
00:07:26says they bear some the blame for higher prices. Grocery store
00:07:29profits are not the only reason for food inflation, certainly, but they have taken a
00:07:33bad situation and made it worse. He says they're adding their own
00:07:37profits top of higher supply chain
00:07:39costs. back to
00:07:43Connie, time to check out her total. Oh,
00:07:47it's a long receipt. Yes, this is a week's worth of groceries for you. That's right.
00:07:51Grand total, you want to read it out for us?
00:07:53$148.87. Connie's most
00:07:57expensive item a $16 pack of medium ground
00:08:01beef. The price was up
00:08:03$12.9% year over
00:08:06year. Why is beef so expensive these days? We had
00:08:10two consecutive years of very dry weather. "cows need
00:08:13grass, if there's less grass, you can you can run fewer
00:08:17cows, and unfortunately those droughts uh were not a one-off
00:08:21event, and this again is another sign of how climate change is going to
00:08:24affect our food bill. other items in Connie's cart saw price
00:08:28swings too, berries were up
00:08:318.5%, and carrots
00:08:3416.6% year over
00:08:36year. how about the rest of our
00:08:40$100 shoppers?" Harriot shopping for herself and
00:08:44her son, yes, so we can't get no burgers
00:08:47today, this is $20, we have to skip it, remember you saw
00:08:51nice burger on the green, you'd be like, yeah, she,
00:08:55I can't, I'm getting my headaches, I'm getting dizzy, I really get an
00:08:58overwell, dorothy were shops for
00:09:02household of six, I have to stretch
00:09:06everything I get, and then if we get chicken, chicken can be
00:09:10dinner and lunch snacks.
00:09:23Both come in under $100, about 70 for Murna,
00:09:27who holds back for fear of going over, and about 93
00:09:31for Dorothy, who says she already has some staples at home. Do you think
00:09:35that'll cover you for the week? This making stir fries
00:09:39and making everything out of it, hopefully, but there's no room. for
00:09:42air, basically like this amount of money is for two days, this is not going
00:09:46to keep me for the week, that might be close our remaining shoppers,
00:09:50mike armstrong and mounawar khan blow past the h
00:09:54bucks, mike spends about $132 for
00:09:58his family of five, looking at what you have here, do
00:10:01you feel like you got value for your money? no, no,
00:10:05do not, it's a lot of money, no, but it's just one of those generally accepted
00:10:09things right, like this isn't valuable, but you need it, and it's just how much it cost. It seems like
00:10:13there's not much you can do and mounawer, he spends
00:10:15$172 for himself and his wife,
00:10:19but knocks off 20 bucks with points. If they can reduce the price, it would be
00:10:23good, the cost of living... can be like reduced, it will be very
00:10:27good for the common people. both by tomatoes,
00:10:31a whopping year over-year increase of
00:10:3431.7%. tomatoes are one
00:10:38the products really affected by that loss of migrant farm labor in
00:10:42the United States, the reduction in the amount of planting of
00:10:45tomatoes in the US
00:10:47and then the shift in production to Mexico. so just as they were shifting the production to
00:10:50Mexico, they had some terrible weather there that reduced the the
00:10:54crops. that was compounded by the uh diesel price shock
00:10:58that we've seen uh again attributable to Donald Trump and his
00:11:01war in the Persian Gulf. In the end, four of
00:11:05our six shoppers spend more than $100. We
00:11:09ask law, Metro and Sobies for interviews about their
00:11:13prices. They decline. Instead, loblaw sends a
00:11:17statement. They say they also want lower grocery prices
00:11:20and are focused on delivering value, but say many the
00:11:24fact. contributing to the high prices are out their
00:11:28control. In a statement, Metro 2 says a lot of
00:11:32outside factors are adding to the high prices, saying they
00:11:36know Canadians are concerned and work to provide
00:11:39meaningful savings. Sobes didn't reply to
00:11:43numerous requests for answers. We also reach out to the retail
00:11:47council of Canada for industrywide perspective. It tells us
00:11:51grocery businesses make between two and four cents on every dollar for food.
00:11:55"and any growth and profit comes from non-food areas, even
00:11:59when we hear that inflation is going down, prices aren't going
00:12:03down, not to any significant degree, and it's not only
00:12:06buying for one week, when you're living paycheck to paycheck, you can't buy
00:12:10something that's on special and keep it in the fridge. there's a number of things kind of
00:12:14coming together, a sort of perfect storm situation on the food price issue
00:12:18in particular, when you put all these different factors together, the the
00:12:21geopolitics, the fuel price shocks of course." tariffs,
00:12:25the climate issues, then food is particularly uh
00:12:28sensitive.
00:12:34coming up, how far would you go to save on
00:12:37groceries? we aim to spend $35 a week for
00:12:40food. with food costs squeezing family
00:12:43budgets, some shoppers are getting
00:12:56weekly newsletter at
00:12:57cbc.ca/marketplace, and got a
00:13:01story you think marketplace should investigate? reach out to us at
00:13:05marketplace at
00:13:06cbc.ca.
00:13:12the moment you believe the whole world is actually facade, then
00:13:16it gets so hellishly dangerous. we'd like to find a way to get in
00:13:19there, especially if Joseah was living in there. walk me through that day, you
00:13:23knock on the door, tell me i think the pink, yeah, the pink,
00:13:27one with the balcony, that's the hotel, and when you say kids
00:13:31are going to suffer, you were not talking hypothetically, you were seeing kids were suffering, i
00:13:35watch kids suffer, it's debilitating, it's scary,
00:13:39and they're trying to hide that fear of, is my child dead or alive? imagine you're
00:13:43a kid coming from school, they could walk upon you like
00:13:46this, holy shit, all it takes is this and your
00:13:49influence, you're saying that the only time family members came was
00:13:53one time, you're lying. because it won the key, why would they lie?
00:13:57why would her doctor lie? the biggest part of it was that we haven't been listen
00:14:01to, they just didn't listen. there's never been a worse
00:14:04time to call this referendum, quebec separatist, alberta
00:14:08separatist, it's like no, we're just regular folk that want a free
00:14:12and independent country. how many workers are in this
00:14:15IT army? somewhere between two to 5,000. it seems pretty clear
00:14:19that it's definitely in the thousands. aku, are are you in North
00:14:23Korea right now? No, are you North
00:14:27Korean? Sounds like he was in sex. Yeah, he's cuz she said he looking interested, but
00:14:31how would that have happened? Right? Okay, I'm going to approach.
00:14:34Okay, you want, are you okay? going on your own?
00:14:37Yep, watch my
00:14:40back.
00:14:51Marketplace is sending you a grocery run. "our
00:14:55$100 challenge shows how far your money goes,
00:14:59but what happens when you don't have enough? wow,
00:15:03we're uncovering a reality that's more common than many shoppers
00:15:06think, more people are going hungry. it's interesting how you're
00:15:10always thinking about this though, you always have to think, what can i afford, how long can
00:15:14it last? yes, has it always been like this? no, but now
00:15:18definitely
00:15:19are they going to be able to not be hungry while they're sitting in classroom, i going to
00:15:23have enough for dinner when?" get home for everyone, or is this
00:15:27tonight that I miss out and I make sure that they eat? will you skip
00:15:30dinner? sometimes if I don't have enough,
00:15:33yeah, Christina Kennedy says she'd be one
00:15:36them. if not for her local food bank. I moved
00:15:40back from British Columbia and I had just moved
00:15:44into an apartment and just given birth to twins
00:15:47and had just mounting expenses. I just
00:15:51realized that I couldn't make everything work. All that after the death of her
00:15:55husband. I was always the kind of person that really tried to do everything
00:15:58myself. Sometimes you have to ask for help, you have to ask other
00:16:02people to support you. The Toronto Food Bank she visits Nourish
00:16:06East End. is lifeline, but it only extends so
00:16:10far. the food bank will give you approximately 2 days
00:16:14worth of food. then there's the weight. users
00:16:18can only visit once a week. you definitely still have to spend quite a
00:16:22bit of money at the grocery store every week. what are you thinking about the prices you see? i
00:16:25think it's getting harder and harder to manage a fixed income and it's not
00:16:29sustainable. christina is a mom of four and a person
00:16:33with disability. finding work is difficult, so she relies.
00:16:37on support from the province, so I have to pay rent, that's about
00:16:41half the income I have, bills is in about a quarter, and
00:16:45then I have about a quarter left for food, that's about $800 a
00:16:48month, she says, for herself and four children. It's
00:16:52extremely hard, that's why I come here. According to Food Banks,
00:16:56Canada, 2025 saw nearly
00:16:592.2 million visits a single month,
00:17:02that's doubled since 2019. Reverend
00:17:06Brianne. Juan and Kathy Forest manage the food bank Christina
00:17:10uses. It's not that we don't have enough food, it's that people can't afford it
00:17:14after they pay rent or mortgage. The price
00:17:17the food itself is growing exponentially. If we need
00:17:21to go out and buy say milk, when that price goes
00:17:25up, we can buy less and less with our money. So
00:17:28are you going to show me around the food bank? I am, yes, so we'll pretend we're
00:17:32household of two okay today. I see it goes all the way up eight or more. All
00:17:36the way, yeah, exactly. so cobs
00:17:39supplies food uh bread to us, to lot of other agencies
00:17:43in in the city. how much could we
00:17:46get a day like today? a day like today, probably
00:17:50loaf of bread, and then maybe some
00:17:54bs okay, so we're going around, yeah, and this is sort of a snack
00:17:58table, we've got some granola bars, we don't
00:18:02hand out a whole lot of
00:18:06sweet treats. snack foods and stuff, but it's really
00:18:10great when when we can. we move to
00:18:13produce. this is interesting cuz people tell us how expensive
00:18:17fresh fruits and vegetables are these days, so this must be in
00:18:21demand. very much in in demand, depending on household
00:18:25size they might be able to get tomato, some some
00:18:29lettuce. um, but rarely sort
00:18:32of enough of everything. so for family of two,
00:18:36probably two apples. today is basically what they're going to get, it's not a
00:18:40lot, it isn't. last stop, protein, two
00:18:44people, two choices for the week, so that could
00:18:48be peanut butter and some
00:18:51meat or peanut butter, some eggs, yeah, so six eggs,
00:18:55six eggs, again that's
00:18:57not a lot, it's sometimes heartbreaking, because oftentimes
00:19:01people will say like, it's not enough, i think that like it can happen to
00:19:05anyone, i don't think most people wake up when date and think, oh,
00:19:08next month I'll have to access the food bank, sometimes things happen in people's lives
00:19:12that are very destabilizing, we keep hearing that food banks are not a permanent
00:19:16solution, but people keep turning to in more and more numbers. now food
00:19:20banks are this integral part the social safety net, propped
00:19:24up by community organizations, oftentimes faith
00:19:26communities, and the more and more that
00:19:30we have to resorce food, the more and
00:19:34more that lets governments off the hook for.
00:19:37actually doing the job of taking care of
00:19:40people.
00:19:46Ottawa says its new food strategy will improve access
00:19:50to affordable food. There's all kinds of issues relevant to high grocery
00:19:54prices. After the break, we asked the government how
00:19:58and when? It's an overall plan. I mean, this isn't going to happen
00:20:01overnight.

00:20:48i watch kids suffer, it's... debilitating, it's
00:20:51scary, and they're trying to hide that fear of, is my child dead or
00:20:55alive? imagine you're a kid coming from school, they could walk upon you
00:20:59like this, holy
00:21:01all it takes is this and your influence, you're saying that the only time family
00:21:05members came was one time, they're lying because they won the

00:21:12it was that we haven't been listen to, they just didn't listen, there's
00:21:16never been a worse time to call this referendum, you'll come back. separatist,
00:21:20alberto separatist, it's like, no, we're just regular folk that
00:21:24want a free and independent country. how many workers are in
00:21:28this IT army? somewhere between two to 5,00, it
00:21:32seems pretty clear that it's definitely in the thousands. acu, are are
00:21:36you in north korea right now? no, are
00:21:39you north korean? sounds like he was inside. yeah, he's cuz she said he wasn't
00:21:43interested. how would that have happened? right? okay, i'm going to approach.
00:21:47okay, you want, are you okay? go... on your right?
00:21:50yep, watch my
00:21:53back.
00:22:05we're digging deeper into the cost of your groceries
00:22:09and the extreme ways people are trying to keep
00:22:12up. the carne government is promising to make
00:22:16food more affordable, but experts are wary of...
00:22:20promising lower prices. I think the food security strategy is
00:22:24incredibly positive thing to do, but I think we're dooming
00:22:28it for failure if we're saying that it's going to reduce food
00:22:31prices. Stabilizing food prices and then making sure that Canadians have enough
00:22:35income to afford food uh is better goal. We make repeated
00:22:39requests for an interview with minister of agriculture Heath
00:22:42McDonald. His office declines. That's him in the
00:22:46background question from CBC marketplace.
00:22:50Hm, maybe he
00:22:55give up, catching up with him at event in Charlot Town,
00:22:58this is for CBC marketplace, uh, the grocery benefit leaves some
00:23:02people out, and the food security plan is going to take years, what are you doing right
00:23:06now to bring down high grocery prices for all Canadians? There's all kinds of issues
00:23:10relevant to high grocery prices, things that are out of our control to some extent, so what
00:23:14we need to do is a country is is start building out for the future and making sure
00:23:18that when we are faced with these ch'. challenges
00:23:22that we can handle it a lot better than we have in the past.
00:23:25so when will shoppers see prices drop? it's an overall
00:23:29plan. mean, this isn't going to happen overnight. in fact, the plan
00:23:33will take years. until then, canadians are left to
00:23:37find their own ways to make ends meat. where are we going to start? in north
00:23:41vancouver, michelle naidam is taking grocery saving to an
00:23:44extreme. we have $5 to work with, so maybe this is two pounds, so this is
00:23:48$3, so maybe we could also... get few apples. That's a
00:23:52tight budget. She and her husband challenge themselves to live on
00:23:56just $35 a week for food in one of Canada's most
00:24:00expensive cities, and they do it for four months.
00:24:04The goal to pay off debt, but it completely changes the way
00:24:07they shop. The food prices really affected us throughout the
00:24:11challenge. Every time something would go up, it would just feel
00:24:15terrible. How has it changed the way you grocery shop? Now I start
00:24:18with the number. with the number that i want to shop from and we really
00:24:22stick with it, whereas before it was just add whatever we need to the
00:24:25car. mean, they look good and they smell good,
00:24:29i just can't believe there's such few ingredients. these lental patties are one the
00:24:33low-cost meals that help them survive the $35 a week
00:24:37challenge. so what does about $5 a day for two
00:24:41people taste like? okay, i'm going to give it a
00:24:43try.
00:24:47well, it's very. very simple, yes,
00:24:51but I guess if you're using that many ingredients, it's going to be that simple, nothing
00:24:55fancy, just cheap ingredients, stretched as far as they'll
00:24:58go.
00:25:05We want to bring your attention to something that's unfortunately becoming
00:25:08lot more common these days. Scam ads have taken over social
00:25:12media using AI to pretend to be us and convince
00:25:16you to send scammers money. But in reality, the... all
00:25:20fake, know that CBC News would never endorse
00:25:24companies, push investments or ask you to send us
00:25:27money, so if companies promise high returns or
00:25:31pressure you to invest, you might want to think twice, and if you
00:25:35see one these scam ads, make sure to email us,
00:25:38marketplace atcbc.ca. we've got your back,
00:25:42this, this, this is your
00:25:44marketplace.
00:26:02The more. the moment you believe the whole world is actually facade, then
00:26:06it gets so hellishly dangerous. we'd like to find a way to get in
00:26:09there, especially if jasiah was living in there, walk me through that day, you
00:26:13knock on the door, tell me everything. i think the pink, yeah, the
00:26:17pink, one with the balcony, that's the hotel, and when you
00:26:21say kids are going to suffer, you were not talking hypothetically, you were seeing, kids were suffering,
00:26:25i watch kids suffer, it's debilitating, it's
00:26:28scary, and they're trying to hide that fear of, is my child dead or alive?
00:26:32Yes, imagine you're a kid coming from school, they could walk upon you like
00:26:36this, holy shit, all it takes is this and your
00:26:39influence, you're saying that the only time family members came was
00:26:43one time, they're lying because they won the key, why would they lie,
00:26:47why were their doctors are, the biggest part of it was that we haven't been listen
00:26:51to, they just didn't listen, there's never been a worse
00:26:54time to call this referendum, youbec separatis, alberta
00:26:58separatist, it's like, no, we're just regular folk that want to
00:27:01free and... independent country, how many workers are in
00:27:05this IT army? somewhere between two to 5,00, it
00:27:09seems pretty clear that it's definitely in the thousands. aku, are are
00:27:13you in north korea right now? no, are you
00:27:16north korean? sounds like he was inside? yeah, he's buse, she said he wasn't
00:27:20interested, but how would that have happened? right? okay, i'm going to approach.
00:27:24okay, you want, are you okay? going on your own?
00:27:27yep, watch my
00:27:30back.
00:27:39Hi there Canada, how are you holding
00:27:43up? The
00:27:46funny, not so funny thing about the world right
00:27:49now, is the thing that can consume your
00:27:53thoughts, is the thing you maybe didn't see
00:27:56coming, my favorite word,
00:28:00tariff, minimum 10% tariff. on all imports, some
00:28:03contracts are already getting canceled, we're already hearing about layoffs, feeling
00:28:07the financial pain of Canada's 25% counter tariffs.
00:28:11he is trying to break us. so you have
00:28:15questions: how should Canadians be preparing for that next
00:28:19trip? what is your plan? how seriously are you taking this threat of
00:28:22100% tariffs on foreign made films? lot of
00:28:25questions. how is hamilton bracing for tarif impact? how much does it
00:28:29cost to be patriotic when picking items at the? grocery store and
00:28:33while your elbows have been up, elbows
00:28:37up, for us, it's the sleeves rolled
00:28:40up, because you need answers about your
00:28:43neighborhood, your world, your
00:28:45Canada, our
00:28:49journalists countrywide and all over the world are on the
00:28:53case. do you think you're going to have to close?
00:28:56hate to think about
00:28:57that.
00:29:06Where are Canada's allies? Where are Canada's markets?
00:29:10What is this country's place on the planet? It's the uncertainty that's the
00:29:14biggest issue. What is the next thing to happen and what will it mean
00:29:17for all of us? Canada, we got
00:29:21you, and we are right there, right beside
