US Cherries – C&C Supermarket
One of the better cherry prices of the spring season in the GTA. At this level, it makes sense to buy more than you need immediately. Pit extras and freeze in zip-lock bags — frozen cherries work well in smoothies, baked goods, and desserts through fall and winter.
Storage: Don't rinse before refrigerating — moisture accelerates deterioration. Rinse just before eating; dry cherries keep 5–7 days.

Thai Bananas 99¢/lb – Al premium Supermarket
Bananas are a consistent staple, and 99¢/lb is a low price for the GTA. If they arrive underripe, leave at room temperature for 2–3 days. Overripe bananas freeze well peeled — use for smoothies or banana bread.
Grape Tomatoes 2/$5.00 – Bestco Supermarket
Snackable, salad-ready, and versatile alongside BBQ food. Two containers for $5.00 is solid GTA value. They keep well refrigerated for about a week.
English Cucumber 2/$2.50 – Ethnic Supermarket Guelph
$1.25 per cucumber is about 30% below the usual GTA price. English cucumbers store refrigerated for up to a week. Slice raw, stir-fry, or make a quick vinegar salad — all work well.
California Orange 78¢ lb – Freshland Supermarket
78¢ per orange is close to the lowest price seen for this variety in the GTA. Oranges are one of the best fruits to buy in bulk — room temperature shelf life is 1–2 weeks, refrigerated 3–4 weeks. A full bag at this price is an easy decision.
Red Carrot 89¢ – Topfood Supermarket
Root vegetables don't make headlines, but 89¢ is a low price for the GTA. Carrots store refrigerated for up to two weeks and work across soups, stews, stir-fries, and raw snacking. A consistently useful buy.
