The Price of food in Iqaluit
This afternoon we looked at a video that showed us how much food costs in Iqaluit. We made a chart comparing food prices in Iqaluit and food prices in Calgary. Take a look and see what you notice?
We noticed . . .
"That dog food is $125! I wouldn't own a dog if I lived in Iqaluit." - SD
"Yogurt is more expensive in Iqaluit." LA
"The frozen pizza is really expensive." GH
We discovered that the food is so expensive because they have to fly the food or ship the food to Iqaluit. This costs lots of money! We read an article that said for a family of 4, one meal would cost $100. This is not good because people in Iqaluit don't make that much money.
The kiddos realized how much money it would cost for them to live in Iqaluit!
