This Weekend
This Week in Food
Prices are shifting as we move into the spring thaw. Superstore has the best deals right now on everyday basics to help your budget.
2% Milk (4L Jug) Superstore is holding the line at $5.94. Sobeys and Freshco are sitting higher at $6.35. If you only need a carton, No Frills has a 2L option for $4.22.
Large Grade A Eggs (Dozen Equivalent) No Name at No Frills takes the win this week at $4.16, with Superstore right behind at $4.20. Freshco is sitting way up at $6.49 for Burnbrae.
Salted Butter (454g) Superstore is edging out the competition at $5.49 for No Name. Sobeys, Freshco, and No Frills are all clustered around the $6.00 mark this week.
Grocery Game Plan
Superstore is your smartest primary stop this week for heavy dairy and pantry volume, as they have consistently held prices steady on major staples. They offer the lowest price on a four litre jug of two percent milk for $5.94 and recently dropped salted butter to $5.49. To round out the trip and stock the freezer with bulk proteins, make either Save On Foods or No Frills your secondary destination. Save On Foods provides strong pricing on large value packs of chicken thighs and pork loin chops, making it ideal for heavier meats. Alternatively, No Frills is the perfect discount backup, currently featuring the absolute lowest price on large Grade A eggs at $4.16 along with great deals on cuts like a pork half loin. Splitting your shopping run between Superstore for everyday basics and one of these secondary options for heavy proteins is the most cost effective strategy for feeding a larger household this week.

Book Mother's Day before options get thin Sunday, May 10 already has dedicated brunch seatings filling up on local hotel event pages. Winnipeg families tend to remember Mother's Day at roughly the same time. Book your reservations and floral deliveries now to avoid settling for a leftover table or an awkward time slot.

Plan for most park washrooms to still be locked
Even if it is a beautiful sunny afternoon, the city does not officially open most park bathrooms until late May. Heading out for a long afternoon at the park without checking means no access to a toilet.
Avoid planting your garden during the first warm spell
Winnipeg usually gets its last spring frost in late May, which will instantly kill tender plants. Warm April afternoons trick people into buying and planting too early every single year. Keep the tender plants indoors for now.
