Costco Shopper Shows How Expensive Groceries Have Become in Canada

If you’re the person who does the grocery shopping for your house (or the budgeting or both) then there’s no way you could have missed how much prices have risen in the past couple of years.

That said, a picture (and a post) is worth a thousand words.

User Brittany Aucoin (@brittanyaucoin_) posted a picture of her Costco cart that contained a total of 6 items, claiming she’d spent nearly $140 for the paltry haul.

“I think I’m just going to quit eating. I just went to Costco. I bought chicken and ground beef, a box of fish, toilet paper, some Christmas chocolates, and chips. This was $140.”

Here’s the video…

Aucoin had the (literal) receipt showing that the total was $135.81 CAD ($101.38 in the US).

Others jumped in the comments, backing up the original poster’s claim that things in Nova Scotia are worse than bad.

“This is Nova Scotia; we are in a crisis and this is absolutely true!”

Plenty of folks in the comments claimed that that the receipts weren’t true, which Brittany posted this response to…

Maybe this is going to be the push we all need to become vegetarians…or vegans, even, because the price for a gallon of milk or a carton of eggs is no joke, either.
