October 29, 2025. Toronto, ON. This month, grocery prices in Canada rose by 4.0%, with general CPI increasing 2.4%. The removal of the federal government’s counter-tariffs on U.S. imports, which are expected to be fully realized in the coming weeks as retailers sell through inventory, has helped moderate food inflation; however, items like fresh and frozen meat and coffee are putting upward pressure on prices, both due, in part, to lower supply.
