Got SO lucky at Superstore today finding good prices on produce. This is probably not even a good deal anywhere outside of major Canadian cities haha but I legit haven’t gotten this much food for this price in over 5 years, let alone fresh vegetables. Gonna be making a lot of hashes and trying new roast veg recipes for the next few weeks! (This is not my whole grocery haul, for the record lol)

For what’s pictured I spent $16.54CAD at a Real Canadian Superstore in southern Alberta.
20lb bag of potatoes = $5.54
10lb bag of beets = $6
10lb bag of carrots = $5
None of these were in the weekly flyer and the price tags on the bins/racks didn’t look like they usually do when something is on sale (at this Superstore the price tag is usually yellow if something is a flyer deal or otherwise on sale). I’m not sure why it was all so cheap. I know I only ever see this specific bag (brand and size) of carrots during the Christmas season but I can’t remember if it’s always this cheap. I’m guessing the carrots & beets are priced this way because of the season, anyhow. The potatoes are the ‘naturally imperfect’ label which is usually a bit cheaper than the other store brand bags of any given produce, but I still feel like this was a crazy low price.
I predict a lot of pink pee in your future
Jealous of those beets! They cost $1.67 for me per pound this week. I would love that many beets for six bucks.
What do you make using this? I’m just curious, and looking for inspiration for some good cheap meals.
The great thing about roasting this veg is that it’ll freeze beautifully. If you just use olive oil, salt, and pepper, you can flavor/season them later on for whatever meal you decide to use them in!
There are some fantastic charts available about how to cut/cube/prep different veg for roasting so they cook at the same rate and finish simultaneously. I recommend finding one that has your veg!
I literally just saw a bag of those potatoes in a Linus Tech Tips video… 😰😰😭😭
