May Two-Four Grocery Deals in Toronto: Live Bass $13.99/lb, Noodles at Half Price — Long Weekend Shopping Guide (May15-21)
Summary: Victoria Day weekend brings out the biggest deals of the season at Toronto's Asian supermarkets. This guide ranks the best May Two-Four finds by value — from live fish and instant noodles to shaking lemon tea and electric scooters.
Introduction
If you've lived in Toronto for a few years, you know that Victoria Day weekend is when Asian supermarkets go all-out. The range is wild — live fish, instant noodles, fresh drinks, even e-bikes. And the deals are genuinely good, not just leftover-stock promotions.
One practical tip: check the weekly flyers the night before you shop, make a list by store, and plan your route. You'll avoid impulse buys and won't miss the Friday-only items.
🍜 Jin Mai Lang Spicy Pork Bone Noodles 5-pack – $2.99 (reg. $6.99)
📍 Yours Food Mart
Saving $4 — under $0.60 per pack. This is one of the best unit-price noodle deals we've seen in Toronto. The spicy pork bone flavour is popular in China but harder to find here. Stock up — this price won't last.
🍜 Nongshim Spicy Noodle Soup 5-pack – $3.88 (reg. $6.99)
📍 Foody World
43% off. Shin Ramyun is a staple in many Toronto households — students, families, anyone who wants a reliable bowl fast. At $3.88 for five, grabbing two or three packs makes sense.
🐟 Live Green Bass – $13.99/lb (reg. $15.99)
📍 B Trust (Richmond Hill) 🔴 Fri–Sun only!
Saving $2/lb. A typical green bass weighs 2–3 lbs, so you're saving $4–6 per fish. Steamed with ginger, scallion, and a drizzle of hot oil is the classic preparation — it highlights the natural sweetness of the flesh without overcomplicating it.
⚠️ Friday morning is the best time to go. Live fish inventory drops significantly by the afternoon.
🍋 Shaking Lemon Tea – 2 cups for $12.99
📍 Kings Fair (free tasting Sat & Sun)
Fresh-made in store, shaking lemon tea is one of those things you can't quite replicate at home. Weekend-only free tasting available — try before you buy.
🛵 Electric Scooter / E-Bike – From $699.99
📍 Best Living
Spring is the right season to think about it, and $699.99 is a reasonable starting price for a commuter e-bike. Worth a look if you've been considering one.
Tips for First-Time Long Weekend Shoppers
- Victoria Day week deals are real — not the clearance-bin kind
- Check store flyers the evening before to plan your route efficiently
- For live fish, go early Friday — stock is often half gone by midday
- Noodles and dry goods have no timing urgency — grab them any day
