Toronto Summer BBQ Deals: Atlantic Salmon $6.88/lb, Beef Back Ribs $4.58/lb, Whole Watermelon $3.99 (June12-18 2026)
Summary: Summer BBQ season is in full swing, and this week's GTA supermarket deals cover the full spread — fresh salmon, beef ribs, Filipino sausage, corn, watermelon, and BBQ sauce. Everything you need for a complete backyard cookout.
Introduction
A great BBQ is less about complicated technique and more about sourcing the right ingredients at a reasonable price. This week delivers on both. Here's the full rundown.
🐟 Atlantic Salmon Steak — $6.88/lb (reg. $8.99)
📍 Yours Food Mart
Saving $2.11/lb. Salmon steak is one of the most reliable BBQ proteins — place skin-side down on the grate over medium heat, 4–5 minutes without moving it, finish with sea salt and lemon. The skin crisps up as a natural barrier and keeps the flesh moist. Easier to handle than a whole fillet on the grill.
🥩 Fresh Beef Back Ribs — $4.58/lb (reg. $5.59)
📍 Tone Tai
Saving $1.01/lb. Beef back ribs have substantial meat between the bones and respond well to both slow indirect cooking and direct grilling. Marinate overnight in Korean BBQ sauce or a soy-garlic mixture for the best result.
🌭 Bulacan Longanisa Sausage 375g — $2.99 (reg. $4.59)
📍 Skyland
Saving $1.60. Available in sweet and hot varieties. Filipino longanisa caramelises beautifully on the grill — the sugar in the sweet variety creates a slightly sticky, charred exterior that's hard to stop eating. Makes an excellent party-size appetiser alongside rice.
🌽 USA No.1 Grade Corn — 44¢/ea
📍 Walmart
44 cents per ear. Grill in the husk until the outer leaves char — the steam inside cooks the corn perfectly. Peel back, brush with butter and salt. One of the simplest and most universally loved BBQ sides.
🍉 Whole Seedless Watermelon (~11lb) — $3.99
📍 Walmart
An 11lb watermelon for $3.99 is an easy call. Chill it before the cookout and cut it open at the end — it's the cleanest possible finish to a BBQ and will disappear within minutes.
🥫 Kraft BBQ Sauce 455ml — 2 for $5.00 (reg. $3.99)
📍 Freshland
Two bottles for $5. Kraft is the North American benchmark for BBQ sauce — balanced sweet-smoky-tangy profile that works on chicken, ribs, and everything in between. Two bottles covers the whole summer.
🍹 Red Rain Energy Drink + CoCo Coconut Water — $1.00/ea (reg. $1.59)
📍 Ample (Brampton)
Saving 59¢ each. Energy drink for those who need a boost, coconut water for post-grill hydration. Pick up several of each for a well-stocked cooler.
