Ontario's top grocery deals this (May 14th) week (% lower compared to avg prices)

Every week for my site Is That a Deal, I pull the Ontario flyers and compare every price against the Statistics Canada provincial average to find what's actually worth buying. Here's what stood out this week. Everything here is at least 27% below the typical Ontario price.

🥩 Beef tenderloin — $19.99/lb at Metro (-38% avg) Whole beef tenderloin vac pack. Ends May 20. Match at FreshCo, Giant Tiger, No Frills, or Real Canadian Superstore

🥩 Beef striploin / NY strip — $10.88/lb at Loblaws (-39% avg) Striploin grilling steak. Ends May 17. Match at FreshCo, Giant Tiger, No Frills, or Real Canadian Superstore

🥩 Pork back ribs — $3.99/lb at No Frills (-51% avg) Pork back ribs. Ends May 20. Match at FreshCo, Giant Tiger, or Real Canadian Superstore

🍗 Chicken wings — $3.99/lb at Food Basics (-50% avg) Fresh chicken wings. Ends May 20. Match at FreshCo, Giant Tiger, No Frills, or Real Canadian Superstore

🍗 Chicken breast (bone-in) — $3.99/lb at Real Canadian Superstore (-41% avg) Bone-in skinless chicken breast. Ends May 20. Match at FreshCo, Giant Tiger, or No Frills

🐟 Salmon — $8.99/lb at Food Basics (-31% avg) Fresh Atlantic salmon portions. Ends May 20. Match at FreshCo, Giant Tiger, No Frills, or Real Canadian Superstore

🫑 Bell peppers — $2.49/lb at FreshCo (-55% avg) Sweet green bell peppers. Ends May 20. Match at Giant Tiger, No Frills, or Real Canadian Superstore

🥩 Beef brisket — $7.99/lb at Metro (-27% avg) Whole beef brisket vac pack. Ends May 20. Match at FreshCo, Giant Tiger, No Frills, or Real Canadian Superstore

🌿 Asparagus — $2.50/lb at Loblaws (-50% avg) Fresh asparagus. Ends May 20. Match at FreshCo, Giant Tiger, No Frills, or Real Canadian Superstore

Best single stop this week: No Frills or Real Canadian Superstore. Both will price match almost everything on this list. Bring the flyer screenshots and you can hopefully get 4+ of these deals in one trip without driving all over town.

Price matching requires showing a digital or print flyer at the till. Same brand, size, and weight. Always confirm in-store. YMMV
