Excluding gasoline, headline inflation would have been 4.0% in June, following a 4.4% increase in May.

Canadians continued to see elevated grocery prices (+9.1%) and mortgage interest costs (+30.1%) in June, with those indexes contributing the most to the headline CPI increase.

The all-items excluding food index rose 1.7% and the all-items excluding mortgage interest cost index rose 2.0%.

I mean, have you reached out to your local farms/CSA groups to inquire about delivery and encourage them to establish something like that? The pandemic definitely pushed a lot of groups to incorporate that into their model, if you haven't checked recently you might be surprised. I mean, even if it's just to demonstrate interest for a pick up point in your area or ask if they're affiliated with a local supplier who does deliver, it never hurts to reach out

I do think one of them has a pick up point at least, none offer delivery, but I'll have see if I'll be able to make that work with a small bicycle basket at a time late enough for me to go after work. I'm also afraid of committing to cycle a few extra kilometers every week with the added weight, but we'll see.
