I am never going to complain again, we are staying in Vancouver BC, I paid for my sons grocery shop yesterday.

Ouch😬😬😬.

It was a real shock and everything is super big.

Goodness. Have the best time, we visited Canada last year and fell in love with it, we visited Vancouver City and Vancouver Island, as well as other places. Isn’t Vancouver City one of those most expensive places in the world?

I live in Alberta. The joke around here is that B.C. doesn't mean British Columbia, it means Bring Cash - and lots of it. B.C. is known to be VERY expensive, and Vancouver especially is not cheap. The housing prices are INSANE.

I visited Calgary and then Vancouver last year . What a difference in grocery prices .
I too have fallen in love with Canada . Pristine and very friendly people.

My US-based son thought UK food prices were cheap this summer compared to those in his American city. That’s a first in almost 25 years.
