To a degree, of course... not going to blow my whole paycheck on switching without research first.

I am willing to pay more to avoid the US but I strongly prefer that extra goes to smaller businesses.
For example for dishwasher detergent powder I’m willing to pay extra compared to my mainstay Great Value, but I don’t want to give Pattison or Weston and the cartels $$$$ to sell me ridiculously priced stuff. But I can order direct from Nellie’s and it comes out more but I’m ok with that.
Local markets can often have extremely good deals, as with the soon-to-expire-food apps. Being flexible on what you buy can help you get good prices and still local and non-US.
Support local, shoplift from corporate, everyone wins :)
Yup. Willing to pay more for Canadian and even goods from Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, etc. Still boycotting a few countries due to current on going matters...
No Loblaws, no matter what. Yes I still shop at Costco as they stuck with their DEI policies and they don't treat their employees like garbage and pay a reasonable wage(at least here in Canada).
I don't think a survey about the willingness to put effort into a morally good action is worth anything. How's everyone's New Year's resolution going?
What are the actual buying trends? That's the question.
It gives me hope to see more people checking the fine print on grocery products.
*Canadians willing to buy local homegrown goods for reasonable prices that are comparable to the imported alternatives. Title fixed.
I’m also willing to leave and shop elsewhere for Canadian goods (non US goods)
Don't give the grocery chains any bright ideas!
