Reading this I was thinking the same thing. Unless food prices where I live are drastically more expensive than the rest of Canada, $25 a week is not even close to enough for 2-3 meals per day unless you are eating ramen for all those meals. Even Kraft dinner now is like $3-4 a freaking box so that is too much for that budget too.
I mean for staples like bread, milk and eggs your at least $10, you can get boxes of pasta for $2-$3, same for a can a sauce, that would pretty much be $25 right there, and that’s no meat, fruits, veg etc.
Where I live, a carton of eggs is about $12, a loaf of bread about 6$, and a 2L carton of milk is also $6. So that is $25 right there just for those three things.
Where do you live? You need to shop around more or travel much further to get cheaper groceries if they're the prices you're facing.
Northern Ontario. So it’s kinda hard as we are in the middle of nowhere lol nowhere to shop around, and the nearest larger city is Winnipeg which is an 8 hour drive. 🤷🏻♀️ I personally don’t pay those prices as I only shop sales, and am willing to use coupons and look around. But yeah, those are the regular prices at the normal grocery stores.
