According to their latest study, which looks at food prices over the last year, the average cost of groceries has gone up 5.74 percent in one year.
Spokesperson Aurea Cormier tells CHSJ News it's getting harder for families to buy a nutritious grocery order, especially those on fixed incomes.
She says the prices of key items have been steadily on the rise: the cost of bread has gone up 10 percent while fruits and vegetables have jumped by over 40 percent.
She's hoping the figures will spark action on the part of citizens and the government to make grocery bills less of a burden for low-income families.
