Grocery Deals: Here Are Some Of The Best Sales You Can Get In Ontario From January 11-17

If you're always on the hunt for the best deals on groceries, you likely already know that checking out the weekly flyers is the best way to score savings on dairy, meat, produce and other items in Ontario and we've rounded up the best of the discounts on food.

We took a look at the flyers for Walmart, No Frills, Food Basics, FreshCo, Loblaws and Metro for what's on sale from January 11 to 17 to help you decide where exactly you should do your shopping in order to get the best bang for your buck, because life is too expensive to be paying full price for things when you don't need to.

The prices we found are for most of Ontario, but some stores might have their own specific deals or exclusions so it's best to double-check your local store's website to see if they have the specific deal you're searching for before heading out to avoid disappointment.

Here are some of the top deals on groceries like cheese, chicken, tea and more food items you can snag in Ontario from now until January 17.

In order to consolidate how many grocery stores you need to go to, it's always a good idea to check out which stores offer price matching which is a practice where if you see a cheaper price on something at a different store, the store you're at will match the lower price.

In Canada, you can utilize price matching at stores such as No Frills, FreshCo and Real Canadian Superstore, so if you know you're going to one of those stores but spot a better sale on a product at another store such as Loblaws or Freshco, make sure to have proof of it on your phone to show to the cashier so they can give you the better price. There are some exceptions to the policy though, such as locations and possible restrictions on how much of a product you can buy per customer.

As well, if you know there are certain products you buy all the time, there are several grocery price comparison apps available in Canada that'll help you find the lowest price for that particular item.

On some of the apps, like Flipp, you can create grocery lists for a specific item (like boneless, skinless chicken thighs, for instance) and it'll let you know where you can find that specific item at the lowest cost for the given week.

Don't forget to look out for coupons as well — they can often take a few bucks off the total price of your grocery cart, and every little bit counts!

Good luck, shoppers, and may the deals be in your favour!
