You've heard the price of food is going up—faster, in fact, than any consumer cost except gasoline.
But which foods are driving the rise of your grocery bill? We found the answer, in the basket of goods that Statistics Canada tracks month-to-month.
You might be surprised: the items rising fastest are not fancy, or generally considered luxuries. Explore our interactive chart below to find out which staples are costing you more.
We've also produced a short video factoid to show how an interactive graphic could be narrated, to guide our
audience around the features and the story.
An audio version of the factoid (without visual references) could be used on radio, to start these discussions:
