As a student and young adult living on a budget in Canada, the recent food inflation has been a real burden on my wallet. To help others in the same situation, I created a calendar that displays the cheapest months to buy fruits and vegetables in Canada when they are in season and abundant. This way, preparing healthy meals without spending enormous amounts of money on basic fresh ingredients is feasible.
Want to save even more money? Consider buying fruits from local farmers, starting a small garden, or picking your own fruits and vegetables and freezing them for later use.
Please note that the dates provided are approximations, as different websites have their own “in-season” periods. However, I have done my best to generalize the results to provide a helpful guide.
