Canadians are firing up the grill this summer, but before you head to the grocery store, you may want to compare prices.
The cost of a typical backyard BBQ can vary more than you think.
For this comparison, we looked at a shopping list that included:
- Burgers
- Hot dogs
- Buns
- Ketchup and mustard
- Chips
- Pop
- Watermelon
- Ice cream
The result? Depending on where you shop, the same BBQ could cost significantly more.
Why Are Prices So Different?
Grocery stores often use different pricing strategies. One store may have meat on sale, while another has lower prices on snacks and drinks.
That’s why shopping an entire list, not just individual items can make a big difference.
The Hidden Cost of Convenience
Many of us shop at the same store every week because it’s convenient. But convenience can sometimes come with a higher grocery bill.
Even saving a few dollars on several items can add up over the course of a BBQ, a month, or an entire summer.
