According to eezly's real-time tracking of 196,000 products across 2,700 Canadian grocery stores, Saskatoon shoppers could find Brussels Sprouts for $0.66/kg at No Frills as of April 2026. This is not a full flyer review or an aisle-by-aisle audit. It is a focused, data-only comparison of the specific items available in the dataset for each banner, presented in a way that helps shoppers decide where a quick produce run is most likely to pay off.

What this Saskatoon check covers (and what it does not)

• Which store has the most compelling absolute price on produce right now
• Which store is cutting the deepest versus its own regular pricing

Items included in the dataset

• Broccoli Crowns (By Weight) (kg) — No Frills
• Brussels Sprouts (kg) — No Frills
• Rapini (each) — No Frills
• Sweet Potato (kg) — Superstore
• Cabbage, Green (kg) — Superstore
• Butternut Squash (kg) — Superstore

These are not obscure items. They are staples that appear in soups, stir-fries, roasted vegetable trays, salads, and weeknight side dishes. Even with a small list, price differences can be meaningful because produce is often where a grocery total swings most from week to week.

Important limitation: not a like-for-like cart

That limitation matters for interpretation. A lower total on one side does not prove the banner is universally cheaper. It does, however, show where verified prices are unusually strong, and where a banner is currently positioned higher on a per-kilogram basis for the items observed.

At-a-glance basket comparison (priced where available)

How to interpret the basket

• Layer 1 (math): The three observed items at No Frills sum to $5.32. The three observed items at Superstore sum to $9.24.
• Layer 2 (meaning): In this dataset, the Superstore side includes two relatively high per-kilogram vegetables (green cabbage at $2.86/kg and butternut squash at $5.28/kg). Meanwhile, the No Frills side features a standout low price in Brussels sprouts at $0.66/kg and a solid broccoli price at $1.67/kg.

For shoppers, the operational takeaway is straightforward: the fastest way to reduce produce spending is not to assume one banner is always cheaper, but to anchor the shop around the strongest verified price points and fill in the rest opportunistically.

Where the biggest savings are (current price vs regular price)

The dataset provides both current price and regular price for each item, enabling a discount calculation:

> Savings % = (regular price − current price) ÷ regular price

What stands out in the discount table

• Deepest percentage discount (Superstore):

• Lowest absolute price (No Frills):

Beyond those two headlines, the rest of the dataset shows meaningful but less dramatic cuts, clustered around one-third off regular pricing. Rapini is discounted modestly, at 14.3% off regular.

No Frills in Saskatoon: what the data signals

Brussels Sprouts at $0.66/kg (regular $1.32/kg)

• Current: $0.66/kg
• Regular: $1.32/kg
• Discount: 50.0%

This is also a simple price to evaluate. The regular price is exactly double the current price, so the deal is intuitive even without a calculator.

Broccoli Crowns at $1.67/kg (regular $2.50/kg)

• Current: $1.67/kg
• Regular: $2.50/kg
• Discount: 33.2%

A one-third reduction on a repeat staple is meaningful. It is not just a promotional “token” discount; it is enough to matter if broccoli appears in the cart every week.

Rapini at $2.99 each (regular $3.49 each)

• Current: $2.99 each
• Regular: $3.49 each
• Discount: 14.3%

This reads more like a moderate adjustment than a must-buy price. For shoppers who already want rapini, it is a mild win. For shoppers choosing between greens, it may not be the deciding factor.

Superstore in Saskatoon: where it competes in this dataset

Sweet Potato at $1.10/kg (regular $3.46/kg)

• Current: $1.10/kg
• Regular: $3.46/kg
• Discount: 68.2%

For practical shopping strategy, this matters because sweet potatoes are versatile, store well, and scale across meals. A low price per kilogram can translate into multiple dinners with minimal additional spend.

Cabbage, Green at $2.86/kg (regular $4.40/kg)

• Current: $2.86/kg
• Regular: $4.40/kg
• Discount: 35.0%

Even after the discount, the current price is still higher in absolute terms than the headline No Frills vegetables in this snapshot. That does not make it a poor deal; it simply means it plays a different role in the budget. If cabbage is central to the week’s plan, the discount is real.

Butternut Squash at $5.28/kg (regular $8.10/kg)

• Current: $5.28/kg
• Regular: $8.10/kg
• Discount: 34.8%

The discount is meaningful, but the per-kilogram price remains high compared with other vegetables. For many households, this becomes a “buy with a plan” item: worthwhile if the menu calls for it, less appealing as an impulse buy.

So which store is cheaper in Saskatoon right now

However, the more useful conclusion is nuanced:

• No Frills has the most aggressive absolute price point in this snapshot (Brussels Sprouts at $0.66/kg) and a solid repeat-staple discount (broccoli at $1.67/kg).
• Superstore has the deepest percentage markdown (Sweet Potato at $1.10/kg, 68.2% off regular), plus two additional sizable discounts on cabbage and squash.

In other words, No Frills “wins” if the goal is to chase the lowest shelf price on the items captured at that banner in this pull. Superstore “wins” if sweet potatoes are a priority and the goal is to exploit the steepest discount against regular pricing.

Because this is a partial dataset rather than a full store scan, the optimal approach is often a hybrid: build meals around the lowest verified prices and avoid assuming loyalty to a banner will automatically produce the best total.

Practical shopping scenarios (using only the verified items)

Scenario A: A roasting and sheet-pan week

• Start at No Frills for Brussels Sprouts ($0.66/kg) and Broccoli ($1.67/kg).
• Consider Superstore only if Sweet Potato ($1.10/kg) is a primary target.

This scenario reflects how real budgets work: roasted vegetables often involve buying multiple kilograms. The gap between $0.66/kg and higher produce prices can materially affect the week’s total.

Scenario B: Meal prep built around sweet potatoes

• Sweet Potato ($1.10/kg) is the best percentage deal in the entire comparison.

Then, if adding greens is part of the plan, evaluate whether the trip is worth expanding. This dataset does not provide a Superstore price for broccoli or Brussels sprouts, so there is no verified basis here to claim Superstore would be better or worse on those specific items.

Scenario C: One quick produce run, no second stop

• If the household buys broccoli and Brussels sprouts frequently, No Frills is supported by two strong produce prices in this pull.
• If the household’s weekly menu depends on sweet potatoes, Superstore becomes the rational single-stop choice based on the scale of the discount.

What this means for Saskatoon shoppers in April 2026

• A banner can be cheaper overall on a small verified basket and still not hold the single deepest discount.
• The best savings often come from one or two items that are priced unusually low relative to regular pricing or relative to typical per-kilogram expectations.

In this Saskatoon dataset, the roles are clear:

• No Frills is the source of the attention-grabbing low price: Brussels Sprouts at $0.66/kg, plus discounted broccoli.
• Superstore is the source of the steepest markdown: Sweet Potato at $1.10/kg, plus discounted cabbage and squash at higher absolute price points.

Shoppers using eezly-style verification can make a disciplined plan: decide the top one or two produce items for the week, buy those where the verified deal is strongest, and treat everything else as flexible.

Bottom line: the smart split based on verified prices

• Choose No Frills for the standout low-cost vegetable: Brussels Sprouts at $0.66/kg, and for Broccoli at $1.67/kg.
• Choose Superstore for the single strongest markdown: Sweet Potato at $1.10/kg, with additional meaningful discounts on Cabbage, Green at $2.86/kg and Butternut Squash at $5.28/kg.

The potential weekly savings from choosing the cheaper observed basket total is approximately $3.92 ($9.24 minus $5.32) versus buying the higher-cost observed basket in this snapshot. Used carefully, this kind of comparison helps households avoid paying “default prices” when a verified deal is available.
