Introduction
The best pantry and freezer items are the ones that get dinner on the table in under 10 minutes without sacrificing quality. This week has a strong lineup across several stores — here's what's worth picking up.
🦐 Jumbo Shrimp Wonton — 2 for $11.98 (reg. $8.99/ea)
📍 Yours Food Mart
Saving $6 on the pair. These 100% jumbo shrimp wontons cook from frozen in five minutes — drop into boiling water, add a splash of sesame oil and sliced scallion, and you have a bowl of wonton soup that requires almost no effort. One of the best freezer staples available at this price.
🍜 Liu Quan Snail Rice Noodle 268g — $1.98 (reg. $2.99)
📍 Nations (Mississauga)
Saving $1. Liu Quan is one of the best-known brands in the snail noodle (螺蛳粉) category — a uniquely funky, sour, spicy broth with chewy rice noodles that has become one of China's most popular instant foods. At $1.98, this is worth stocking up on even if you've never tried it.
🐟 Fuzhou-Style Fish Balls 2kg — $18.88 (reg. $29.99)
📍 Foody Mart
Saving $11.11 — a genuine blowout price for a 2kg pack. Fuzhou fish balls are a staple in Chinese households: springy, flavourful, and versatile across soups, hot pot, and clay pot dishes. At this price, buy two packs and freeze one.
🥟 Bao Man Tian Xia Dumpling Series 400g — 3 for $8.98 (reg. $3.99/ea) — Sat & Sun in-store tasting
📍 C&C Supermarket
Three packs for $8.98 saves $2.99 versus buying individually. In-store tasting available Saturday and Sunday — try before committing to three. A reliable quick-meal dumpling brand well-known in Toronto's Chinese community.
🍢 Paldo Oriental Noodles 4×102g — $2.99 (reg. $4.99)
📍 Bestco (DT)
Saving $2. Four packs for $3 works out to 75 cents per bowl. Paldo's beef bone broth noodle has a rich, savoury base without excessive spice — a good option for those who find Shin Ramyun too hot.
🫓 Lazeez Pain Paratha 2.4kg — $6.88 (reg. $8.99)
📍 Yours Food Mart
Saving $2.11. Two minutes on a flat pan and it's ready. Pair with curry, chutney, or a fried egg for a fast breakfast or light dinner. The 2.4kg format keeps for weeks in the fridge and months in the freezer.
🍦 Japanese Ice Cream Lineup — from $2.99 (reg. from $3.99)
📍 Asia Food Mart (Lipton Lemon Tea Sandwich, Morinaga Milk Tea Frozen Latte, Kracie Grape & Yuzu Sorbet, Futaba Kyoho Grape Bar, Panapp Smile Ice Cream, Hokkaido Milk Pudding, Tokyo Banana Cake)
Twelve Japanese summer ice cream items at a discount, starting at $2.99. Tokyo Banana cake is legitimately rare to find in Toronto outside of specialty stores — at this price it's worth picking up. A good complement to any freezer restock run.
