Local grocery stores increasing prices again amid rise in inflation
MEDICINE HAT, AB – Grocery store shelves sit fully stocked, but customers are feeling the pressure of price increases.
Canada’s inflation rate sits at 6.7 per cent, the highest it’s been since January 1991. This rise is causing some grocery stores to make the choice to raise their prices once again.
Sue Macinnis, store manager at Redcliff Family Foods, says the jump has affected the items households need every day.
