Share
After reaching a high of 8.1 per cent in June of 2022, inflation is now down to four per cent. But that's still double Canada's inflation target of two per cent, and food inflation remains high with experts saying could still be a while before we see any relief on our grocery bills.
CTVNews.ca is tracking monthly changes in grocery prices, using Statistics Canada inflation data, to help consumers monitor the impact on their food bills.

The last year has shown a downward trend in the inflation rate, with the latest headline inflation rate down to 2.8 per cent in June.
