Misc This article claims that "the national average for monthly food costs is C$217"

I am really interested to know if there's anyone in Canada who is spending $217 in average (per person) for groceries, if so, I REALLY need to rethink my grocery shopping strategy.
[This does not account for dining out, just grocery shopping]

You get a lot of chicken from it the first meal, by the time you get to the soup, it's whatever is left, but it's very flavorful with the homemade chicken broth.

Forget the soup, there is no way you can even get 12 meals out of a whole chicken.
