Double-digit, year-on-year increases in food prices have drove many of us to change our diet. The average cost of fresh fruits, for example, have gone up in price by a whooping 13.2% from a year ago.
So here’s a little groceries tip: Add bananas and tofu to your shopping list.
The price of bananas have remained relatively stable because of the fruit’s steady increase in production ie, between 2000 and 2017, its production has increased steadily from 62 million tonnes to 114 million tonnes.
Tofu, a protein-rich, plant-based food, is also relatively stable in price in Canada, mainly because the product is made locally.
