Toronto Supermarket Pantry Stock-Up Guide: Flour $12.88, Tofu Half Price
🌾 Five Roses All Purpose White Flour 10kg — $12.88 (reg. $17.99)
📍 Foody Mart Warden
A $5 saving on a 10kg bag that will easily last a family of three or four a couple of months. This is a low-effort item to stock up on since it doesn't spoil quickly if kept sealed and cool.
🧊 Qi Zhen Fresh Soft Tofu 425g — $0.99/box (reg. $1.99)
📍 Foody Mart Warden
Half off, and fresh soft tofu makes a noticeably better mapo tofu or tofu soup than the shelf-stable boxed kind. Tofu doesn't keep long, so only buy what you'll use within the week.
🍶 Foojoy Hua Tiao Cooking Wine — $0.99 (reg. $2.99)
📍 Foody World
A $2 saving on a bottle you'll use for months — cooking wine is a staple for removing gaminess in stir-fries and braises. Since it keeps well unopened, this is worth grabbing an extra bottle or two of.
🍚 Paramount Food Glutinous Rice Flour 400g — $0.88 (reg. $2.29)
📍 Yours Food Mart
More than half off, and useful to have on hand ahead of any occasion calling for tang yuan or rice cakes. Worth grabbing now rather than waiting until closer to a holiday when prices tend to go up.
