The Manitoba government has released a new grocery price study aimed at lowering food costs across the province.

The study includes recommendations like unit pricing to help shoppers compare products, bringing back Nutritious Food Basket costing to track prices by region, and investing $2.5 million into Harvest Manitoba’s Food Transformation Centre.

The province says the centre will help turn donated food into meals for families in need, while reducing food waste.

The study comes just days before Manitoba removes the PST from groceries on July 1.
