Toronto Asian Supermarket Limited Day Deals: Live Lobster $8.88/lb, Spot Prawn $29.99/lb — Weekend-Only Guide (May22-28 2026)
Summary: This week features several time-sensitive deals at GTA Asian supermarkets — including live spot prawn available Friday–Saturday only and live lobster Thursday through Sunday while quantities last. Here's how to plan your shopping route to make sure you don't miss them.
Introduction
Some deals have a hard expiry — not a soft "while quantities last" soft caveat, but a specific day range after which they're simply gone. This week has several of those, and missing them means waiting until next week or longer. Here's everything ranked by urgency.
🦐 Live Spot Prawn — $29.99/lb (reg. $49.99)
📍 Bestco (Scarborough) ⚠️ Friday–Saturday only
Saving $20/lb. BC spot prawns are at peak season right now — sweet, firm, and delicate in a way that most shrimp simply aren't. At $29.99/lb, this is one of the lowest prices for live spot prawn in Toronto this season.
Arrive at opening on Friday. Saturday availability is likely limited. The best way to eat them: raw as sashimi, or quickly steamed with just salt and butter. No heavy sauce needed.
🦞 Live Lobster — $8.88/lb (reg. $15.99, SAVE $7.11)
📍 Kings Fair ⚠️ Thursday–Sunday, while quantities last
The largest absolute dollar saving of the week at $7.11/lb off. An average 1.5 lb lobster comes to just over $13 — a genuinely good price for a live lobster in Toronto. Available from Thursday, so there's no need to wait for the weekend rush.
Preparation options: steamed with ginger and scallion, baked with cheese, or broken down and made into congee the next day.
🥬 Fresh Short Napa — 69¢/lb (reg. 99¢/lb)
📍 First Choice ⚠️ Friday–Sunday only
30% off. A full head of napa typically runs 1.5–2 lbs, putting the cost at just over $1 per head at this price. First Choice has a consistent reputation for fresh napa quality. Works in stir-fries, soups, hot pot, or dumplings.
🍅 Vine Tomato — $1.99/lb
📍 Nations Fresh Food (Brampton) ⚠️ Friday–Sunday only
Vine tomatoes are at their best right now — sweeter and more flavourful than off-season. At $1.99/lb, they're worth picking up for salads, pasta sauce, or eating straight. The Brampton location serves a large GTA West catchment.
🎰 Sinian Brand Week Lucky Draw — Spend $38 to enter (Sat–Sun, 10am–6pm)
📍 FreshWay (Markham)
Spend $38 in-store on the weekend to enter the Sinian brand week draw. If you're already planning a FreshWay trip, Saturday or Sunday is the better time to go this week.
🎁 Free SUNITY Drinks with In-Store Purchase — While supplies last
📍 Terra (Mississauga)
Purchase anything in store and receive two free SUNITY herbal drinks while supplies last. A worthwhile stop if you're in the Mississauga area this week.
