Only things left are frozen veggies, which we will give to her mom.

Re: Groceries
This article discuses food prices but what surprised me is that on average Canadians are supposed to be spending 2% of their income on fresh fruit and vegetables William Watson: About that $8 cauliflower—locavoring probably won’t help | Fraser Institute
We spend a lot more than that, at least 5%, with our grocery bills being over 20% of our income. |

We spend a lot more than that, at least 5%, with our grocery bills being over 20% of our income. Food is roughly 7-9% of our income. Housing is roughly 45.5% of our income. Hydro is roughly 3%. Transportation total costs runs about 20% The rest is misc internet, phone, toiletries etc. (Monthly income) |

Rent in Vancouver is just too high, and it's the only viable place in BC with a useful public transit system where you can get around and make do without a car, anywhere you pretty much need one since so much is done in Vancouver medical wise. Our price range isn't doable in Vancouver, 260sq feet is just too small and the area isn't very good....lol Edit to add, looks like we end up with about 1.8% left each month with the new place. http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/apa/5423052996.html |

Re: Groceries
One thing that is cheap in BC is electricity. Not many places in North America are cheaper.

In a year with full rental income and average amount for repairs (only about one of those in 5 years) equalised electricity/heating accounts for 17% of my pension/rental income. Otherwise more. :ohmy: |

Re: Groceries
That helps too. Heat isnt needed all winter especially in an apartment.

I expect a large part of that is you don't need as much heating even if actual rates are lower than other places.
