## Resource

Manitoba’s Finance Minister Adrien Sala just dropped a major grocery price crackdown: $2.5 million to build a food transformation hub that turns farm and store donations into meals — slashing waste while feeding those in need. Back’s the Nutritious Food Basket, a new price-tracking tool to give the government real-time data on what people are actually paying. Plus, unit pricing becomes mandatory in stores to help shoppers compare and fight shrinkflation. The government also cracked down on restrictive property deals blocking new competitors — and that 7% sales tax on snacks and rotisserie chickens? Gone starting July 1st. All this as food inflation keeps outpacing general inflation for 16 straight months. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
