The Food Professor(@FoodProfessor):The average Canadian household is now spending roughly $1,000-$1,500 more per year on gasoline compared to early March trends alone. That money has to come from somewhere. For many families, it means: ➡️Less restaurant spending. ➡️More pressure at the grocery store. ➡️More debt. ➡️More trading down to discount brands. More money at the pump, less money to spend on food.
