Food banks no solution to rising cost of groceries in Canada, argues anti-poverty advocate
Ida Millar just shakes her head at the cost of food these days.
She does more walking than buying in the grocery store — hunting for bargains — which are especially hard to come by in the produce section.
“[You] can’t just go, ‘Oh, I want some oranges today. Oh, I want some grapes.’ Grapes are a luxury. It’s pretty sad we have to pass on those things,” she told Cross Country Checkup.
