The Genoa salami sold in vacuum packs at Newport is really good and cheaper than Brandt, Farm Boy, or other vacuum pack Genoa salamis I have purchased. $2.99 for a packet, around $29/ kg.
I will report on their presunto ham when I try it.
They also have a vacuum packed mixed cold cut packet that looks good, which is cheaper than the Italian style antipasto salami prosciutto mixed packs.
!@#$%^ (self-censoring). No thanks Sobey, Iâll wait for Ontario watermelons.
The Quakerâs oatmeal was on sale for $3.33 a bag at Sobeys yesterday, when the going rate is 5 to 6 bucks a bag regular price.
Theyâre not all bad. LOL.
The watermelon was the main ridiculous price that stood out.
Or you could go to freshco right now and pay $4.99.
The online flyers save me a lot of time and money.
The prices of Grapefruit donât make any sense to me.
Earlier this year they were $5.99 for a 3lb bag (containing 5-6 depending on size). Those were Turkish. I anticipated some increase because of consumers boycotting US produce, although seasonally, Spanish citrus typically arrives early in the year â but NOT this year â didnât see any Spanish fruit (which is my favourite; Iâve always avoided Florida grapefruit anyway as itâs too sweet).
After a period when I saw US fruit being signed as South African (USA became RSA) that deception seems to have ceased. Also âbaggedâ grapefruit have disappeared from the stores.
The individual price was typically $1.49 each, which moved quickly to $1.79 and then $1.99 (to be fair they were larger than the bagged ones). Only Loblaws stayed the same â they started at $2.49 and are still at that price!
But a couple of days ago I hit C & C (Asian supermarket) and they were 3 for $1.99 (also Turkish).
Slightly smaller (although volume does increase exponentially with radius) â but at less than 30% of Loblaw price, I can live with that.
And thatâs probably the only correct use of âexponentialâ youâll see this year!!!
I bought 4 bags of Quaker Oats at $3.33 at Sobeys. I usually stock up on a few when theyâre on sale.
I donât have a good FreshCo location near me. I mostly buy butter and Palmolive at the College and Bathurst FreshCo, which I find okay but not great. I The produce is cheaper and better at nearby indie greengrocers in Kensington Market and Little Italy.
The new No Frills in Little Italy is pretty nice, especially considering how tiny it is.
I was at FoodBasics yesterday, a really disappointing location, which took over what had been a really nice A& P then Metro, in LdnOnt.
The Jell-O was a good price at 74 cents a pack. I left with 3 boxes Jell-O, some garbage bags and a bag of Amaretti cookies.
I wasnât impressed by the one FreshCo in London that took over a White Rose location in London. Iâve only been inside once.
I use the supermarket apps to some degree. I donât really plan my shipping around coupon clipping the way I once did. I like being surprised by bargains.
Iâm always amazed by the price of sweet potatoes around town. Seems like thereâs no rhyme or reason.
Just bought a sweet 12 pounders from Walmart for just $6.99
