It’s probably hard to find somewhere without food cost issues. I’m guessing inflation is being used as an excuse to crank up food prices well beyond the actual inflation value.
If we could lower the rest of the cost of living, food cost would hurt less. Housing is expensive, utilities are unregulated, and gasoline, despite its various subsidies, keeps a relatively high price.
Alberta, we are unregulated in the fact we get to choose retailers but that’s more of an illusion of choice. I believe the distribution and transmission are regulated.

Where do you live that utilities are not regulated?

Ah, Alberta. Sorry for your loss.
