Toronto Asian Supermarket Weekly Deals: Pork Belly
🥓 Fresh Boneless Pork Belly — $3.99/lb (reg. $4.99/lb)
📍 Asia FoodMart
A dollar off per pound adds up fast if you're buying a few pounds at once. Boneless makes it easy for quick weeknight dishes — braised pork belly or pork belly with tofu are both solid options. Portion it out and freeze what you won't use in the next couple of days.
🥓 Fresh Pork Belly Boneless — $3.28/lb (reg. $4.99/lb)
📍 FreshLand Supermarket
This is the better deal of the two pork belly options this week, at $0.71/lb less than the Asia FoodMart price. Already boneless, so it's ready for dishes like Dongpo pork or preserved mustard greens with pork belly that need whole cuts.
🍖 Fresh Front Pork Hock — $0.99/lb (reg. $2.99/lb)
📍 Fresh Value
The biggest percentage discount of the week — roughly a third of the regular price. Pork hock is great for soups thanks to the collagen content; a peanut and pork hock soup is a good pick once the weather cools down. Blanch it first to get a cleaner-tasting broth.
🦪 Seven Baskets Fresh Scallops 300g — $3.99 (reg. $5.99)
📍 Foody World
Fresh (not frozen) scallops rarely go on sale this deep. Steamed with garlic and vermicelli in under 10 minutes, this is a much cheaper way to get a seafood dinner than eating out, and a good pick for a low-effort weekend meal.
