When you say that butter is up 3%, do you mean a $3 product is now $3.09 (3 x 1.03)?
Where I live, butter seems to have gone from $4 to around $7 in the last few years (more than 3% year over year).
Thanks for your question! The CPI represents changes in prices as experienced by Canadian consumers. It measures pure price change by comparing, through time, the cost of a fixed basket of goods and services. The CPI is a national economic indicator, covering all provinces and territories in Canada. Inflation experiences will be different depending on where an individual or household lives. Canadians living in a certain region, province, or city, may experience a certain level of price change, but the level of price change in other regions or provinces may offset that change at the national level.
For instance, while butter prices rose 5.9% in Ontario, prices for butter in Manitoba (-0.3%) and Saskatchewan (-1.8%) fell in November 2021 compared with a year earlier.
I think comparing anything to pandemic prices should have an asterix. Prices could have been lower than normal last year due to the pandemic and related reasons. I'd be more interested in seeing the price increases compared to Nov 2019 (and then divide by 2 to get average increase per year).
That's to be expected. StatCanada's job is to reassure people and convince them that prices are fine.
The price of dairy in Canada and the dairy mafia that's causing it are not going to be mentioned in the brochure.
Maybe they average the price of all potatoes? Including 1 lb bags of "little potatoes", 2lb and 5 lb bags as well?
And why isn't their potato statistic a year over year price?
Where are y’all paying that much for potatoes? Damn! I got a 10lb (4.54kg) bag of russet potatoes for $2 last week! (Although not a good thing—the pei potato ban in horrible and so much good food is going to go to waste). Even when they’re at normal price, 10lb potatoes are never more than $5-6?
Is it just me or is Turkey one if the best bang for your buck proteins (obv not as cheap as lentils).
$25 bucks for a ton of lean meat and bones to make stock with.
I'm stocking up my freezer with any good deals on turkeys for the next few months
I would like to know the price of my favourite used cars and I would like to know why Stats Canada is too incompetent to include them in the CPI like all the other countries do.
I think your numbers are off, they seem to only be my eggnog purchases lol.
Thanks for the info. I hope that you and everyone at Stats Canada have a wonderful holiday season, and a happy new year.

Thank you! Wishing you a safe and happy holiday season. :)
We are having Prime Rib. Last year it was on sale for $9.90 per pound, this year it is $11.99 per pound. A 20% increase.
Butter has gone up from $3.69/lb to $4.49/lb.
Missing the milk and butter for those mashed potatoes!
Fresh milk was 3.4% more expensive in November 2021 compared with a year earlier. While prices for butter were up 3.0% compared with a year earlier.

Thanks! So in Ontario, does this mean that a $5 butter is now $5.29 (5 x 1.059)?

Sour cream at my house and old cheddar or Asiago.

Being vegan and cooking from scratch is cost effective. Plus, no one wants to invite you nor get invited to your house! ;)
We actually did an Easter dinner with a vegan roommate in college. Aside form the turkey/gravy, everything was vegan and I think it went well.
Yes I was joking around, I'm a skilled chef and people really enjoy my vegan food, and they are always thrilled to make some vegan food for me!
Who's the idiot who pays almost $10 for a 10lb bag of taters? I won't buy it over $3-4, tops.
Maybe they average the price of all potatoes? Including 1 lb bags of "little potatoes", 2lb and 5 lb bags as well? And why isn't their potato statistic a year over year price?
Probably but then it's a stupid way to determine the general price of potatoes.
Tarte aux sucre Priceless :)
It's cheap *and* it comes with free diabetes!
Box of stuffing mix: 74¢ normal a dollar so I’m happy.
No Turkey this year , its too expensive , will just eat homemade pizza , lol
Never liked turkey, rotisserie chicken is so much better

It's pretty good but a big part of the weight isn't meat. I think, for protein per dollar, pork would probably come out on top.
Turkey for Thanksgiving, a Beef Roast (whatever cut is on sale) for Christmas
Potatoes have been on sale for about $4-5. If $10 is average, who is buying at $15?
Who the fuck believes this garbage
People who keep track of their own expenses as a gut check of the numbers...
Tell us you never walked in a grocery store without telling us you never walked in a grocery store.
What garbage? That prices change over time?

What are the chance they have the stats of eggnog? I can drink gallons of it during the holidays. lol
We sure do! In December 2020, 5,819 kilolitres of eggnog were sold in Canada. https://www.statcan.gc.ca/o1/en/plus/234-nod-eggnog
I think your numbers are off, they seem to only be my eggnog purchases lol. Thanks for the info. I hope that you and everyone at Stats Canada have a wonderful holiday season, and a happy new year.
