UK food prices.

I think someone came on GN trying to "sell" some kind of strategy thingy to reduce expenditure on food, so was correctly reported by Tizliz. I didn't read it properly. I just saw the dubious blue link.

Who and why??

Yes, Food costs more here although the quality is very good. I find Vancouver restaurant prices cheaper than the UK though. Electricity is much cheaper too. Swings and roundabouts I suppose. Beautiful city, beaches and the mountains

We don't appreciate how cheap good-quality food is in the UK. We visit our son in New Zealand every year and honestly, the food prices take your breath away! People economise by only eating meat or fish a couple of times a week. Even the home grown veg are expensive though.

My US-based son thought UK food prices were cheap this summer compared to those in his American city. That’s a first in almost 25 years.

I visited Calgary and then Vancouver last year . What a difference in grocery prices .
I too have fallen in love with Canada . Pristine and very friendly people.

France - seems very expensive this year particularly.

I live in Alberta. The joke around here is that B.C. doesn't mean British Columbia, it means Bring Cash - and lots of it. B.C. is known to be VERY expensive, and Vancouver especially is not cheap. The housing prices are INSANE.

Goodness. Have the best time, we visited Canada last year and fell in love with it, we visited Vancouver City and Vancouver Island, as well as other places. Isn’t Vancouver City one of those most expensive places in the world?
