From bargain shopping to living on oatmeal and eggs, how Canadians are surviving soaring prices

[shockedcanadian]

Is America ready for the mass influx of starving citizens from Canada (none of them will be members of the Security Industrial Complex, that's for sure) that I warned you could potentially be in the cards? I declared this warning before the pandemic, it's FAR worse now...

Middle-class families barely scraping by​

The current situation is making it tough for people like Dave Arsenault of Moncton, N.B.

He said that before the COVID-19 pandemic, which was declared in early 2020, he would have described his family of four as middle class. Now, he said, they live paycheque to paycheque.

"It feels depressing," Arsenault said. "It's frustrating because it's through no fault of your own that your entire lifestyle changes."

Feeding his family, which includes 11-year-old twins, is tough even with a double income, said Arsenault, who works at a newspaper printing press and is the president of his union local.

Both he and his wife, an office administrator, have unionized jobs with standardized yearly raises, but he said it's still not enough to keep up with rising costs.

"It's a definite struggle," he said.

Sorry, you're mostly white...would screw up the plans down here.

We are aiming at mirroring the RSA, or Brazil by 2050.

I am sure you've seen the commercials...ahead of their time.

What do you people have against staple foods like rice, beans and oatmeal?

They are extremely versatile and not to mention way better for you than lots of other shit people eat

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Buy cheap cuts.
Right now a rump roast at Kroger is $8.49/lb. Which is indeed outrages for rump roast, but still about 40% cheaper than steak. And you can eat 100% of a rump roast. The $13/lb. for a strip includes the weight of the bone/fat/tendons you won't eat.
When prepared properly a rump roast is very tendor, and full of flavor.
Same with a Pork Shoulder. It will feed you for a week. And also, when prepared properly, a pork shoulder is damn near as tasty as bacon.

I have nothing against it, I consume all said products.

As Jesus said, "one cannot live on bread alone". Furthermore, with such a level of poverty in Canada, how long fo you think an excessively priced bag of oatmeal is going to last a family when Canadians are $100 from bankruptcy?

In general I don't care about Canadians in Canada

Please direct your fellow countrymen to migrate north. If they walk north enough into the Arctic Circle all their food problems and other problems with surely numb away.

There are many ways to survive on less, including the cooking of cheaper meat cuts for broth for soups and gravies which can feed a family for months. The point for most Americans is we should be able to more easily afford higher quality cuts of meat for the summer grill without breaking the bank. For those Americans who cannot afford meat raising livestock is the way to go, even if that means sheep or a cow in your apartment. Last summer I could purchase three generously heavy ribeye steaks at the local butcher for five bucks a piece. Now they're about $19 per same size steak. Don't get me started on the price of a pound of crab meat this year . . .
