The winds of change blew through the Prime Minister’s official residence following the general election of 2015. And they blew in particular through the kitchen.

But let’s take a look at the groceries. Taxpayers pay for all the routine household expenses of the prime minister’s family, including the residence itself , groceries, decorating, coffee runs, and the odd trip to the Beer Store or LCBO. There was a steady business too with Loblaws, which had the contract for “refreshments” for the Prime Minister’s Office guests and employees, budgeted at a maximum of $13,000 a year.In January of 2016, the newly arrived family spent $2,533 at Market Organics, which sold both food and body care products. The Trudeaus’ Market Organics tab continued in following months — $2,080 in February and $1,955 in March.

Receipts show they spent $2,324 there in January of 2017, and $1,814 the following month. By this point, after a year in office, their taste for Market Organics had fallen off some, with purchases totalling $832 in January of 2017. Others are partly redacted: You can know precisely what the PMO staff spend at any store on a given day, but not the nature of the purchases.

idk, isn't this how much things cost for a family of 5?

I'd gladly spend more money on healthier food choices than to be a burden on the Canadian medical system
