Introduction
Long weekends reliably bring out the best grocery deals in Toronto, and this week delivers across all major food categories. Here's the full breakdown, time-sensitive item first.
🐟 Salmon Steak — $6.99/lb (reg. $8.99)
📍 Bestco (Scarborough) ⚠️ Fri–Sun only!
Saving $2/lb. Salmon steak is one of the most reliable long weekend proteins — place skin-side down on medium heat, 4–5 minutes without moving, finish with sea salt and lemon. The steak cut is easier to handle on a grill or pan than a full fillet. Go Friday for the best selection.
🐔 Stewing Hen — $5.99/ea, Buy 1 Get 1 FREE
📍 Ample (York)
Effectively $3 per hen. Stewing hens are older birds with more flavour than broiler chickens — ideal for long, slow braises and soups where the extended cooking time draws out a deeply rich broth. Two hens for $5.99 makes an exceptional value for a multi-meal family soup. Buy as many as your freezer allows.
🐷 Fresh Pork Feet — 99¢/lb (reg. $2.79)
📍 C&C Supermarket
64% off, no processing. At 3–4 lbs per hock, you're spending $3–4 per piece. Braise low and slow with soy sauce, dark vinegar, star anise, and rock sugar until the collagen converts to a deeply satisfying, sticky sauce. Buy several and freeze.
🥚 Vital-V Orange Yolk Eggs 30pcs — $9.88 (reg. $13.99)
📍 Fresh Palace
Saving $4.11. Orange yolk eggs come from hens fed a diet that produces noticeably richer, more flavourful yolks — deeper colour, more pronounced taste. At 33¢ per egg, this is a competitive price for a premium egg product. A worthwhile upgrade for everyday cooking.
🍊 California Orange — 98¢/lb (reg. $1.79)
📍 Freshland
45% off. California oranges are at peak sweetness and juice content right now. At 98¢/lb, buying several pounds for fresh juice or as a snack is a straightforward decision.
🥩 Fresh Pork Chop Bone — 69¢/lb
📍 Fusion (Unionville)
The lowest per-pound price of any meat item this week. Pork chop bone is ideal for slow-cooked soups — high collagen, deep flavour. The long weekend is a good opportunity to let a pot simmer all afternoon.
🍗 Chicken Drumsticks — $1.58/lb
📍 Nations (Vaughan)
Solid value for a versatile BBQ or weeknight protein. Drumsticks are more forgiving than breast on the grill — the bone conducts heat evenly and the dark meat stays juicy. Marinate overnight in soy, ginger, garlic, and honey for best results.
🍅 Cluster Tomato — 97¢/lb (reg. $1.59)
📍 Sunny (Don Mills)
Saving 62¢/lb. Vine-attached tomatoes ripen more evenly and retain better flavour than loose ones. Slice with olive oil and flaky salt for a five-minute summer side, or use as the base for a quick tomato sauce.
