Food Prices On The Rise


It's costing us more money to put food on the table.

The Common Front for Social Justice says in their latest study, they looked at food prices over the past year at three of the major supermarket chains.

Spokesperson Jean-Claude Basque tells CHSJ News there has been a definite jump in the price of groceries.

He's hoping that by pointing out the increases, it will encourage people to take a closer look at their budgets and create pressure to get prices lowered.

He says according to a previous study, food prices from 2006 to 2010 have jumped by over 20 percent.

The full results of their latest study will be released tomorrow.
