I think the inflation or the stagflation that Canada is experiencing is going to destroy the little economic activities that we still have.

BoC chose to ease monetary policies while really, they should keep the inflation under control. I was just at WalMart yesterday, and a lb of broccoli is $5?!? I remember it being no more than $3 just a year ago.

Going through my personal expense sheet, I had ~1000 on average in groceries (includes anything from a supermarket) for the last 12 months, and 2014 was roughly the same. But except x'mas, my family was in the US the entire time comparing to the year before. So, that 1000 was really only for myself (and lifestyle... still have F&F visiting from time to time, but it's the same as before) and the 3 occasional visit from wife & kid during a few weekend. It gives an idea how much more expensive groceries have become. I'd guesstimate that if my wife and kid were here full time, I'd easily break 1600 on groceries. And my consumption habit didn't change one bit. I didn't suddenly start indulging on lobsters or some other expensive stuff.
