We're unfortunately doing badly in food affordability though (on a national scale). I feel like the average price of food here is probably being pushed upwards by the proliferation of farmers markets* and specialty food shops while discount grocers haven't really caught on here (I only know of two No Frills in HRM and there isn't really any other equivalent locally - I guess some WalMarts?). I'm extremely surprised they're not more common/popular here.
*there are good deals to be found at the markets for sure, but on average prices tend to be higher than what you'd find at Sobeys, and more variable.
