Manitoba’s bold new grocery study drops major moves to slash food costs—just in time for the July 1 sales tax cut—with plans to crack down on unfair pricing, revive nutritious basket tracking, invest $2.5M in Harvest Manitoba, and fight shrinkflation through unit pricing. The province’s also eyeing a new downtown Winnipeg grocery store to tackle food deserts, all while pulling insights from farmers, retailers, and community groups to build a more affordable, accessible food system for everyone.
