Taxpayers, who have to foot the household bills of their respective Prime Minister, were once billed $2,533 in January 2016 shortly after they elected Justin Trudeau. On average, Canadians spent around $730 a month on groceries in the same year.
In comparison, Stephen Harper’s average grocery bill amounted to a little over $1,000 a month.
The Trudeau family’s preference has been for all organic foods, particularly Market Organics on York Street.
Loblaws was also privileged with a $13,000 a year budget to provide the household “refreshments”.
Subsequent bills at Market Organics totalled $2,080 in February, and $1,955 in March.
Some other grocery destinations for the Trudeau’s included a health food supermarket in Gatineau for $2,324 in January 2017 and $1,814 in February.
The receipts cover a range of purchases from 2015 to early 2017 and reveal the prime minister’s spending habits.
