The average Canadian household spends one-third less on food per week than its U.S. counterpart, a new survey from Leger has found.
Conducted among roughly 1,600 Canadian and 1,000 U.S. respondents, the survey found that a typical weekly food budget in Canada totals C$179, while south of the border, that average looks more like US$203, or around C$277.
That represents a 35 per cent, or roughly one-third decrease for Canadian budgets, compared to the United States.
