Canadians Celebrate Grocery Rebate By Buying 3 Apples And A Bag Of Whole Wheat Tortillas

Ottawa - Many low income families received the federal government’s one-time “grocery credit” yesterday to help offset the the country’s rising food costs. Some single Canadians were given up to $234, which many reported spending the entirety of it on a couple items within the first hours.

Residents across the country are praising the federal government’s decision to step in and do something that will benefit Canadians and allow them to buy a couple extra things while shopping.

“I think it’s great that the government is finally stepping in to do something about all this price gauging happing in grocery stores,” stated 34 year old Mary York, “With this rebate I was almost able to buy one full meal!”

Many Canadians made the same comments as Mary, and that they were able to buy several produce items with the rebate before running out of money. One resident in Guelph tells us with this rebate, and much of his life savings, he was able to buy a club pack of chicken for his family.

The success of this rebate has prompted the Trudeau government to tackle other problems facing Canadians such as unaffordable housing. Next month, low-income families will be given $50 that they can use to buy scratch tickets and hopefully win enough money for a down payment.
