Excluding gasoline, headline inflation would have been 4.0% in June, following a 4.4% increase in May.

Canadians continued to see elevated grocery prices (+9.1%) and mortgage interest costs (+30.1%) in June, with those indexes contributing the most to the headline CPI increase.

The all-items excluding food index rose 1.7% and the all-items excluding mortgage interest cost index rose 2.0%.

The massive chains are always the cheapest in town. Until they're the only ones in town, then the prices rise. This is the strategy, they kill local businesses then set the prices.

I appreciate the choice many be difficult for you as an individual, but appreciate you are making the wrong choice. I need, and sometimes just want, to make bad choices too.

That's harsh. But also rings true. I'll try looking around for CSA nearby again, thanks for the nudge.

Some CSAs will deliver weekly, which may help.
