No name brands are looking better all the time.
That’s what are latest online poll suggests when we asked readers “How have rising food prices impacted you?”
The poll ran from June 27 to July 4 and attracted 292 participants, including 154 from within the Delta community.
The leading answer by a significant margin was “I am making different choices about meals, cutting back on the most expensive items and/or eating less” attracting 54 percent of the vote.
Another 23 percent indicated “I have changed my shopping habits, try to buy more food in bulk or on sale and/or am growing more of my own food.”
The remaining 23 percent aren’t letting inflation impact them and opted for “The price of food hasn’t affected my food shopping or eating habits that much.”
Results are based on an online study of adult Delta Optimist readers that are located in Ladner. The margin of error - which measures sample variability - is +/- 5.7%, 19 times out of 20.
