KAMLOOPS — The falling loonie is also making a trip down the produce isle a lot more expensive, and local grocers in Kamloops are seeing the impacts of it first-hand.

Gourmet Greens in Aberdeen hasn’t seen prices like this in a decade. Coupled with a dropping Canadian dollar, the drought conditions in California and Mexico, even the price of every day fruits and vegetables has skyrocketed.     

The store hasn’t seen a drop in the number of customers coming through the door, but say some customers are deciding to cut back on the produce they purchase.
