Grocery prices across Canada are climbing, and Trump’s new tariffs could make the issue worse.

With the U.S. slapping a 25% tariff on most Canadian goods — and Canada responding in kind with its own tariffs on American imports — experts say some grocery items could see price hikes almost immediately.

“To avoid rising prices on American imports, consumers should consider choosing Canadian-made products,” Macmillan said in an email shared with MTL Blog.

Look for labels that say “Made in Canada” or “Produced in Canada” to support local manufacturers and sidestep costly U.S. goods. Grocery stores are making it easier by highlighting homegrown in-store and online products.

Bigger isn’t always better — unless it’s actually cheaper.

“Checking the unit price can help you maximize grocery savings,” Macmillan advised. Bulk purchases, especially from retailers like Costco, may offer better value as tariffs drive up costs.

Apps like Flipp, Checkout51, and Drop offer cash-back deals, coupons, and loyalty points that can cut down your grocery costs. “Take advantage of money-saving apps,” Macmillan suggested, and consider pairing them with a rewards credit card for even bigger savings.
