A growing number of Canadians are cutting luxury items from their grocery lists and changing their holiday plans, according to a survey released Tuesday.
The consumer survey, conducted by Harris Decima for Investors Group, questioned respondents about how rising food and pump prices are affecting their lives. In 2007, 53 per cent of respondents said rising prices and energy costs were forcing them to re-examine their budget as compared with 63 per cent in 2008.
