Canadian woman travels to Montana to avoid high grocery prices TikTokA Canadian woman has revealed that she travels to Montana to save around $300 per month on groceries. Grocery prices have exponentially risen in the past few years, with some projecting they will continue to increase throughout 2024. To show the dramatic rise in prices, Shelby & Dylan (@shelbyanddyl) recorded her husband\u2019s reaction to the cost of different foods after he hadn\u2019t been to a grocery store for a while. The sheer amount of inflation has even led Brandi Dustin (@kade1613) to drive from Roosville, British Columbia, to a grocery store in Montana to save money. Canadian woman saves $300 a month going to US for groceries Brandi revealed her grocery shopping routine on TikTok, explaining how she lives 45 minutes away from the nearest \u201cgrocery station\u201d in Canada. Therefore, she drives only 15 minutes into the United States to shop for groceries. Brandi highlighted the cost differences for several items, including $6 cottage cheese, which would have set her back $8.99 in Canada. She also explained how meat prices in the United States are \u201cinsanely cheap\u201d compared to her home country. Brandi showed off pork chops she bought for $4.76, ground beef for $6.90, and ground pork sausage for $3.74. \u201cI know they say support local, but right now, everybody is suffering hugely, we\u2019re all trying to make it, and it\u2019s so much cheaper for me to go next door than it is to shop in my own country,\u201d she said. \u201c2 FOR FIVE DOLLARS??? just one of those pain relievers would\u2019ve been $7 in Canada,\u201d one commenter wrote. \u201cCanadians are driving to the US for food and Americans are driving to Canada for affordable prescriptions,\u201d another person said. On October 5, Canada\u2019s Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne revealed that the government was \u201cimplementing solutions to bring relief\u201d from the high grocery prices.
