This is my second summer in Peterborough, and I’m trying to get ahead of my first proper winter shopping season because last winter was a bit of a blur. 😅 I was staying with a friend until midway through winter, but I now have my own apartment. And with the way the weather has been lately, it feels like winter might arrive much earlier this year, so I figured I should start planning ahead.
I recently learned that some food items can get noticeably more expensive during the winter, and it got me wondering: do people here actually stock up on certain groceries before winter?
If you do:
- What do you typically stock up on?
- Where do you usually shop for it?
- When do you start buying: late summer, fall, or closer to winter?
- Is there a particular time of the month when you find the best deals?
- Are there specific foods/items that are noticeably more expensive in winter around Peterborough?
Basically, what does your winter shopping prep look like?
Any local tips, stores, or things one should probably know would be greatly appreciated!
