Food Prices are About to Explode in Canada..... This Could get Ugly

追加: 2026-05-13

[00:00:00]Guys, this is just a heads up that inflammation is actually getting bad. I just paid $22 for two little pieces of steak. That is crazy. What is happening to our economy?

[00:00:08]>> $3 a pound for potatoes. No. This is >> If you were given $100 right now, what would that actually buy you in Vancouver?

[00:00:17]>> Eggs.

[00:00:18]>> Eggs. $100 buys actually nothing.

[00:00:23]Like what the fuck? This is like a 100 or Canada.

[00:00:30]>> Have to tell you this, but inflation is absolutely off the charts. We just had the latest inflation report come out and everything is up.

[00:00:37]>> Imagine walking into a grocery store with $100 in your pocket and walking out with almost nothing. That's Canada right now. People aren't joking anymore when they say groceries feel like luxury items. a few tomatoes, bread, milk, eggs, maybe some meat, and suddenly your total is over $150, like it's completely normal. What in the hell is happening to this country? Families are cutting meals. Parents are skipping food just so their kids can eat. Young Canadians with full-time jobs still can't afford basic groceries without stressing about their bank account. And the craziest part, the government keeps telling everyone inflation is under control. under control for WH because regular Canadians are walking into grocery stores every single week and feeling robbed. Portions are shrinking, prices are climbing, and somehow corporations keep posting record profits while ordinary people struggle harder than ever just to survive.

[00:01:30]Welcome to Canada in 2026, where food prices are so insane that buying healthy groceries now feels like a rich people activity.

[00:01:39]>> Guys, this is just a heads up that inflammation is actually getting bad. I just paid $22 for two little pieces of steak. That is crazy. What is happening to our economy?

[00:01:47]>> If you were given $100 right now, what would that actually buy you in Vancouver?

[00:01:51]>> Eggs.

[00:01:52]>> Eggs. $100 buys actually nothing. Like you could spend $100 on coffees for a week, you know? Like it's literally nothing.

[00:01:59]>> Buy food. $100 won't go a long way. 100 things from the dollar store out of >> There you go.

[00:02:05]>> Oh. Um, well, I could get lunch depending on where. Yeah, I could get a little candle.

[00:02:10]>> $100? Oh my god. No, even I can't pay my rent. A couple groceries in the store.

[00:02:14]Not a lot of stuff. No. So, sorry. But in this city, it depends on where you're going. I think $100 here could either get you a lot or a little depending on where you're trying to buy.

[00:02:23]>> $3 a pound FOR POTATOES. NO, THIS IS SUPPOSED to be poor people food. I really got a chip on my shoulder with this one. Welcome back to Price Check, the segment where a 31-year-old adult realizes that he cannot afford groceries anymore. So, mashed potatoes for dinner or your unborn child's soul. How am I supposed to play hot potato now? Hot aluminum foil. Pass it on. A potato is basically the price of the TTC bus fair.

[00:02:52]This has been Price Check. I'll catch you at the next episode.

[00:02:56]>> Which one? Which one? Which one? You fucking with that one, huh?

[00:02:59]>> Yeah.

[00:02:59]>> That's $799.

[00:03:02]That's $7.99.

[00:03:03]>> I don't want candy.

[00:03:04]>> You want candy?

[00:03:06]>> Yeah.

[00:03:06]>> Which one? Which one? Which one?

[00:03:09]>> I was looking at like the diabetic type.

[00:03:11]>> Grab it. Grab it. Grab it. Put it right here.

[00:03:13]>> All right. Put it on top. Yeah. Grab the people some things.

[00:03:18]>> Yes, please.

[00:03:18]>> You got the big condoms? The big ones?

[00:03:21]The gold one? The big big big big.

[00:03:25]Yo, Cody, what do you know about this?

[00:03:28]You use these, too? Do you use these?

[00:03:31]>> Yeah. And you know, >> on your girl?

[00:03:34]>> Yeah.

[00:03:34]>> You know what I mean? When you when you break that shit down, do you use this?

[00:03:37]>> No.

[00:03:37]>> No.

[00:03:38]>> Which one do you use? This one?

[00:03:40]>> I don't use anything.

[00:03:41]>> You don't use anything?

[00:03:43]>> I don't have sex.

[00:03:44]>> Ra diggity.

[00:03:46]>> All right, let me grab all this appers.

[00:03:50]>> Let me hold this.

[00:03:52]>> Yo, I got you some candy.

[00:03:55]Yo, Shy. Yo, don't trip. Don't trip.

[00:03:58]Don't trip. Don't worry about it. Here, >> hold that.

[00:04:01]>> Thanks. We got to get out of here though cuz they think we're going to rob them.

[00:04:07]Yam got to eat that outside, gang.

[00:04:11]>> Yo, what is that?

[00:04:12]>> George, >> you got fire.

[00:04:15]>> I got lighter.

[00:04:16]>> I feel like it doesn't work. I'll stay cool.

[00:04:19]Stay easy.

[00:04:21]>> God bless you guys.

[00:04:24]And fuck Calvary because it's cold as a motherfucker.

[00:04:31]So, the food people food vendors in Toronto are so crazy.

[00:04:37]It's getting so fucking expensive. I paid 14 45 for this.

[00:04:46]Look, I don't know. Like, I don't know. I can compare it to, but practically nothing.

[00:04:55]>> I can finish it in two fights.

[00:04:59]I mean, it's annoying.

[00:05:02]>> I'm starting to hate to go and eat outside anymore. I don't want to go eat outside cuz >> it's always an issue.

[00:05:09]And this is not 14.95 is worth. Look at the pork.

[00:05:17]There's practically nothing.

[00:05:20]I don't know. I'm in such a bad mood. I don't even want to eat anymore.

[00:05:25]I'm a Canadian dad and I'm in the grocery store right now. I'm going to show you how I feed my family of five for under 20 bucks. Check it out.

[00:05:39]Can we just take a minute to talk about how expensive groceries are in Canada?

[00:05:46]Because this is getting out of hand.

[00:05:48]It's getting a little ridiculous.

[00:05:50]I had the smallest list in the world and I will read you what I have. Rice, chicken, ground beef, cottage cheese, cereal, chips, bubblies, frozen strawberries, and energy drinks.

[00:06:05]So, I had three packages of chicken. I got two that are chicken thighs, one chicken breast, and I got like a two pack of one lb each like ground beef.

[00:06:20]So, tell me why this little list added up to $245 after tax, which was $7.54.

[00:06:35]What the actual >> remember when they used to say the world is so connected like it's a good thing then now it's like the straight of whor moose is affecting my grocery prices. I just wanted eggs. Why am I learning about geopolitics? Why is the price of my avocado toast linked to every Trump tweet? We wanted global connectedness but we didn't know it came with global problems. But now people are overcorrected. It's like we need to be fully self-reliant. Grow our own food.

[00:07:01]Depend on nobody. It's like whoa. Calm down there, survivor man. You live in a studio apartment. Now, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Cuz this interconnected world gave us some of the most peaceful decades in human history. Why? Because countries don't fight their biggest customers. Like if you walked into a grocery store and the owner immediately punched you in the kidney, you'd be like, "Oh, I'm going to try Soies." So yes, connection makes us vulnerable, but isolationism just makes the world more chaotic. You think isolationism is going to work in Canada?

[00:07:32]Our country is owned by like six corporations. They'll change the name of Ontario to Rogers Province. The real issue isn't that we're connected. It's who that connection is working for. Cuz right now, it feels like it's working for massive corporations and not regular people. Global connection is always powerful, but it has to benefit the people. We don't need less connection.

[00:07:54]We just need a better deal. Hopefully, one without Roman charges.

[00:07:58]>> Welcome to Real Canadian Supertore. I'm hungry. Let's go get some meat.

[00:08:03]>> Yummy. What? What?

[00:08:08]You know what? Actually, on a second note, I'm not hungry anymore.

[00:08:14]January 16th, Southern Ontario. $100 worth of food. $9763 to be precise.

[00:08:23]And the bread was on half price. And the soap and the milk was discounted.

[00:08:28]Before anybody comments, I don't usually buy junky prepared food like this, but I have five backto back 12-hour shifts.

[00:08:36]So, to have something to throw in the oven rather than prepare food, well, hey, it's not McDonald's.

[00:08:44]And that's at no frrills, a discount groceries chain here in southern Ontario where one wants to be careful what they get, if you know what I mean.

[00:08:55]Uh, it's carbon tax on it all, eh? I mean, it wasn't delivered by STO. Just throwing that in there for the lefties.

[00:09:04]>> Canada, are we okay?

[00:09:07]>> Tell me why this cost me close to $90.

[00:09:11]This was mostly all on sale as well.

[00:09:14]Cashmir $13. Club member price. Chips aoy to dollars. Tots $3, cheese $5, lettuce for dollars.

[00:09:25]Are we for real with these prices?

[00:09:29]>> Okay, so I've been seeing a lot of these videos on Tik Tok about people posting that they have 20 kids and they have a budget for $50 a month groceries. I don't know why you have so many kids you cannot afford to feed them. Anyways, that's besides the point. I'm literally going to show you guys what $100 got me today.

[00:09:48]All right, so this is what $100 got me.

[00:09:51]That's it. So, I got like some deli meat, some alalfa sprouts, some like almond creamer, some coconut milk, two mangoes, a dragon fruit, mushrooms, bread bagels, two plain chicken breasts.

[00:10:04]These are two seasoned chicken breasts.

[00:10:06]And that is literally all I got for $100.

[00:10:11]Like, this will literally feed me like two days. Well, not just me, but like Jay, too. So, that's it. That's literally all I got for $100. It fit in one bag. That's fucking ridiculous.

[00:10:25]>> Like, what the fuck? This is like a 100 Canada.

[00:10:32]What do you mean a $24 sandwich is the best fucking sandwich you're going to have in Toronto? No, it's not. No, the fuck it's not. Okay. $24 for a sandwich is, first of all, ridiculous.

[00:10:44]Ridiculous. No matter how good it is.

[00:10:47]Second of all, yeah, you're getting paid to say that shit, so don't expect me to believe you. There are other ways to make the bag, okay? Don't lie to people, especially when it's like so not affordable like that. Like, do other things, you know? If you actually genuinely believe the food is good, fine, post it. But a sandwich for $24, girl, what the fuck? That's a whole pizza. Like a large, too. What the fuck?

[00:11:14]I don't have to tell you this, but inflation is absolutely off the charts.

[00:11:17]We just had the latest inflation report come out and everything is up. Despite them saying it's under control, it was slowing down. We didn't have to cut rates, all this fun stuff, it's not at all. So, as of the latest numbers, food prices are up 6.2% year-over-year. Grocery prices 5% and restaurant prices 8 12%. Guys, that is nowhere near a sustainable economy. You cannot have food prices rising 6% a year. And that's in their calculation of inflation. Actual inflation, what you see in the store is is very different.

[00:11:53]This is done in a basket of goods. And typically they like to weigh goods that aren't affected much by inflation as part of that price measure. When you actually think of what the average person buys in a grocery store, when you're talking about what we need to survive, when you look at meats, when you look at eggs, when you look at milk, when you look at butter, that that's not 6%. I would highly wager that's a lot closer to 15 to 18%. And anyone that shops regularly knows that. You don't have to be an economist. You can figure it out. The stuff that you really need, it goes up. But they buffer that by including things in the basket like, you know, breakfast cereals or rice, oatmeal, bread, things that have stayed fairly flat, and it just makes it look a little better. But even with their manipulation of the numbers, you're still getting an average of 6.2% year-over-year increase in food costs.

[00:12:37]That is not good. That is not good for economy. And yet they continue to just spend more money overseas, more money on nonsense programs, more money to things that affect zero Canadians. It blows my mind. Well, this is happening. And this is happening. It's not Trump. It's not Trump at all. It's not the US at all.

[00:12:55]It's a failed economy because of a failed government that cannot manage an economy. They've continued to overspend in all the wrong areas and underspend in all the right areas. They don't spend in infrastructure. They don't spend to open business. They don't spend to increase the productivity of our important resources, our energy industries, oil, gas, pipelines, all these things that can make Canada one of the richest countries on Earth. They don't put money into developing into growing. Instead, they send it to Ukraine, they send it to Palestinians, they send it to Africa, they send it to everywhere, but where Canadians need it. Because if we were a productive economy, exporting, growing, making money, we wouldn't have these issues. This continues to happen because it gets more and more expensive to do business here in this country. All our producers from the farmers to the people shipping to the store to the people stocking the shelves. It is more expensive for them to do their job. It is more expensive for them to live. It is more expensive for them to survive.

[00:13:48]And that cost rolls into what you pay and makes it more expensive for you. And it only continues to get more expensive for them because we keep blowing money.

[00:13:55]We keep printing it. We keep borrowing it. And we keep giving it away. The government is a problem. At the end of the day, groceries aren't supposed to feel like a luxury. People should not have to stand in supermarket aisles calculating every single item in their cart like it's life or death. Families shouldn't feel anxiety buying fruit, meat, or basic food for their kids. And working full-time should absolutely be enough to afford groceries without constantly falling behind. But that's the reality for a lot of Canadians right now. People are exhausted, not because they're lazy, not because they're irresponsible, but because the cost of living keeps rising faster than people can keep up. Rent is up, bills are up, gas is up, taxes are up, and now even groceries feel completely out of control. And when people finally speak up about it, they get told to budget better or shop smarter, like buying a single watermelon for $20 is somehow normal. It's not normal.

[00:14:51]Canadians are frustrated because they can feel the country changing around them. The middle class is shrinking.

[00:14:57]Saving money feels impossible. And more people than ever are living paycheck to paycheck while giant corporations continue making billions. That's why conversations like this matter because people are tired of pretending everything is okay when it clearly isn't. So, I want to ask you honestly, how much are you spending on groceries right now compared to a few years ago?
