Canadians revealed the made-in-Canada groceries they buy and there's way more than maple syrup

Are you still trying to buy Canadian at the grocery store?

People are sharing what made-in-Canada products they buy at grocery stores in Canada — and a few even said they avoid buying Canadian altogether!

As U.S. President Donald Trump's threats have loomed heavy over the last few months, there's been a boost in patriotic sentiment and a push to choose Canadian products — especially over their American counterparts.

Narcity recently asked Canadians if they are still buying Canadian at the grocery store, and a lot of people said made-in-Canada products continue to be on their shopping lists.

But we wanted to find out what items people shop for the most.

So, we took to Facebook to ask, "What made-in-Canada products do you still buy at grocery stores?"

These are some of the specific products people said they only buy when they're Canadian:

Cucumbers, peppers, onions, carrots, cabbage, hot house strawberries and tomatoes, beef, chicken, pork, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, bread, ice cream. Everything I need, with the occasional anything but U.S. fruits and vegetables.
— AnneMarie Switzer

Maple syrup.
— Božana Jevtić

I buy local veggies and meat. I only get canned stuff when it's on sale
— Laurie Grant

Paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, all meat products, fruits and vegetables in season.
— Jean-Paul Bernier

Apples, milk, cheese, beef, veggies, etc.
— Diane Boorman

Canadian Club.
— Robert Hatline

Local produce. Condiments made in Canada as much as possible.
— Lydia Babiak-Louli

Quite a few people revealed that there aren't just a few specific made-in-Canada products they still buy.

Instead, their grocery shop is entirely Canadian or as Canadian as possible.

Here's what those Canadians said:

Still? Always.
— Lindsay E Andrews

Everything that I can find.

I'm unable to do much for my country, but one thing I can do is buy Canadian as much as I can... Every little bit helps!

As many as I can find.
— George Sheffield

Nearly everything I need. If I can't find Canadian, I will choose from any country other than USA.
— Us Singh

If you get looking, a lot more of the products you buy in the first place are Canadian than you'd ever think.
— Jordon Driver

I use this app called Maple Scan, and it's actually working out quite well! Buy Canadian all the way!

I'm Canadian, and we buy everything that's made in Canada, unless it’s not available.

— Joan Plitz

I am now buying everything Canadian. I read the back of the packages.
— Jay Foxton

Anything and everything I can if I have the option.

For others, it's not so easy to buy Canadian and get only made-in-Canada products at the grocery store.

It comes down to affordability, not country of origin.

Anything that's cheaper than other brands and as good.
— Patrick Young

I don't check where it comes from, I go with the cheapest option! U.S. strawberries $1.94, Canadian strawberries $5.99, my kids eat one batch each! Guess what, $1.94 it is!
— Bianca Denis

Whatever is the cheapest, don't care where it's made.
— Howard Parlow

I buy whatever I can afford, which nowadays is less and less.
— Taylor Chase

I'm sure I probably bought some but I don't read labels. I buy what I can afford.
— Judy Sagriff

I'll buy what's affordable, not gonna break the bank to "buy Canadian."
— Paul Cristian

None if there's a cheaper alternative!
— Steve Torraville

Despite most people buying Canadian, a few others said that they don't buy Canadian at all. Some people actively avoid Canadian products.

Here's what they said:

Haven't cared and won't care.
— Corey Caldwell

Nothing if I can avoid it.
— Susan Coffin

I’m actually going out of my way to NOT buy Canadian — I used to, if it was cheaper, but not any longer. This fake "support Canada" is beyond irritating.
— Kimberly Thomas

None! I buy whatever I want to buy, I don't look.
— Lisa Anne

You might be looking at labels at grocery stores to find out what's Canadian.

But you might not know that Canadian logos and "Product of Canada" and "Made in Canada" labels have different meanings.

The federal government has a guide for buying Canadian, and what those labels and logos mean.
