Fresh Produce Deals in Toronto This Week: Napa Cabbage $0.69/lb (Fri–Sun Only), Cucumbers 3 for $2 (May 15-21 2026)
Summary: Light, fresh, and affordable — Toronto Asian supermarkets have strong produce deals this Victoria Day weekend. This guide covers the best vegetable finds, with a heads-up on which ones are Friday–Sunday limited.
Introduction
After a couple of days of BBQ, most people are quietly craving something green and light. This week, several Toronto Asian supermarkets have priced their fresh produce well below average — and the napa cabbage at First Choice is only available Friday through Sunday at this price.
Here's what's worth picking up.
🥬 Fresh Short Napa – $0.69/lb (reg. $1.19)
📍 First Choice 🔴 Fri–Sun only!
42% off. A full head of napa typically weighs 1.5–2 lbs at this price, coming to just over $1 per head. Napa is one of the most versatile vegetables in Asian cooking — stir-fried with garlic, added to soup, used in dumplings, or served in hot pot.
Tip: look for heads with thick, tightly packed leaves. The inner core is the sweetest part — don't discard it.
🥒 English Cucumber – 3 for $2
📍 AL Premium (McCown)
Three cucumbers for $2 is a genuinely good price in Toronto. Smashed cucumber salad with garlic and chili oil is a crowd-pleaser that costs practically nothing to make this week. Also works well as a crunchy BBQ side.
🥒 Mini Cucumbers – 2 for $2
📍 Nations Toronto
Thin-skinned, crisp, and hydrating — mini cucumbers are the easiest summer snack. Rinse and eat, or slice into a salad. At $1 per cucumber, stock up for the week.
🥟 Vegetable Bun Series 600g – $2.98 (reg. $3.99)
📍 Tone Tai
Saving $1. These steamed buns are filled with shepherd's purse and tofu — light, savoury, and easy to digest. Three minutes in the microwave and they're ready. A solid quick breakfast or afternoon snack during a busy long weekend.
🥖 Chicken Banh Mi – $4.99/ea, Buy 3 Get 1 Free
📍 Foody World
Effectively 75 cents off each when you buy four. Crispy baguette, tender chicken, fresh herbs, and sauce — a complete and satisfying meal for $3.75 per sandwich when bought in the offer. Easy long weekend lunch without turning on the stove.
