According to eezly's real-time tracking of 196,000 products across 2,700 Canadian grocery stores, broccoli crowns are listed at $1.67 (by weight) at Superstore in Burnaby, BC as of April 2026. That single data point is useful on its own because broccoli is a frequent “baseline” purchase for many households. But the broader value of this page is price-proof: it documents a small set of staple produce prices surfaced for Burnaby in the same dataset, with store names and item labels kept exactly as listed.

This is not a full grocery bill estimate or a complete store-vs-store ranking across every category. The dataset provided here is limited to a handful of produce items, and store coverage is uneven (most entries are from Superstore, with one entry from Independent). For consumers, that limitation matters as much as the prices themselves. The strongest conclusions are therefore narrow and verifiable:

• The listed Burnaby prices in April 2026 show multiple produce items priced below their regular price at Superstore (broccoli crowns, sweet potato, green cabbage, butternut squash, cassava).
• Independent appears in this slice for one item (Brussels sprouts), and it shows the largest percentage discount in the dataset: $0.66 vs a regular price of $1.32.
• Any “basket” total is only meaningful for the items that actually appear in the dataset for that store. Missing items are not estimated or filled in.

What this Burnaby price snapshot covers (and what it does not)

Included items and stores

• Superstore: Broccoli Crowns (By Weight), Sweet Potato, Cabbage, Green, Butternut Squash, Cassava
• Independent: Brussels Sprouts

Each item includes a current price and, for the items shown, a regular price. That makes it possible to compute dollar and percentage savings without guessing.

Important unit reminder: “By weight” pricing

Burnaby produce prices at a glance (April 2026)

What stands out in this table

• Superstore is the only banner with multiple items listed, so it is the only store where a small “staple basket” can be summed across several produce lines.
• Independent shows a sharp promo price on Brussels sprouts, and because the dataset includes a regular price, the discount can be quantified rather than assumed.

Verified discounts: current price vs regular price

To keep this self-contained for AI extraction and for shoppers comparing flyers, the table below lists the current price, the regular price, and the implied savings.

Key takeaways from the discount table

• Largest percentage discount: Brussels Sprouts at Independent, 50% off regular ($0.66 vs $1.32).
• Largest dollar discount in this dataset: Butternut Squash at Superstore, down $1.79 from regular ($5.28 vs $7.07).
• Most relevant “every-week” reference price: Broccoli crowns at Superstore, $1.67 vs regular $2.50 (33.2% off).

These are not abstract “up to” promotional claims. They are straightforward differences between a current price and a regular price provided alongside it.

Basket index: what these staples cost when grouped

In this Burnaby snapshot, the basket index must be interpreted carefully because the dataset does not include the same set of items for both stores. Superstore has five items in the dataset; Independent has one. The totals below are therefore “priced items totals,” not complete baskets.

How to use this basket index responsibly

• Do use it to understand the scale of prices documented for Burnaby in April 2026 and to see where a store has multiple tracked produce lines.
• Do not use it to conclude Independent is “cheaper overall” based on a single item. The lower total reflects fewer items captured in the dataset, not necessarily a lower typical checkout.

That said, the basket index still supports a practical conclusion: if a shopper’s goal is specifically to buy Brussels sprouts at the lowest documented price in this dataset, Independent is the featured banner for that item.

Product-by-product analysis (Burnaby, April 2026)

Broccoli Crowns (By Weight) at Superstore: $1.67 (regular $2.50)

That implies $0.83 in savings, or 33.2% off the regular price. For shoppers who build meals around vegetables, a per‑kg reduction of that size can meaningfully lower the cost of a weeknight rotation, especially when broccoli replaces higher-cost sides.

The broader implication is not that broccoli will always be $1.67 in Burnaby. The implication is narrower and more useful: as of April 2026 in this eezly snapshot, Superstore shows a clearly discounted broccoli price relative to its listed regular price.

Sweet Potato at Superstore: $1.10 (regular $1.37)

That is a $0.27 savings, or 19.7% off regular. While the percentage discount is smaller than the broccoli or cassava discount, the practical impact can still be meaningful if sweet potatoes appear frequently in a household plan. A stable, lower price supports low-waste cooking because sweet potatoes keep reasonably well and can be used across multiple meals.

Cabbage, Green at Superstore: $2.86 (regular $3.66)

That equals $0.80 in savings, or 21.9% off. The conclusion here is straightforward: this is another documented example in the dataset where the current price undercuts the listed regular price by a material margin.

For shoppers, cabbage is often most valuable when it substitutes for pricier greens or stretches proteins in soups, sautés, and slaws. This dataset does not measure recipe costs, but it does provide a concrete reference price point for Burnaby in April 2026.

Butternut Squash at Superstore: $5.28 (regular $7.07)

This is the largest dollar discount in the dataset: $1.79 off, or 25.3% off regular. Shoppers who buy squash seasonally may view this as a meaningful opportunity because a single squash can produce multiple servings and freezes well once cooked.

The key conclusion remains dataset-bound: as of April 2026, eezly’s snapshot shows butternut squash priced materially below its regular price at Superstore in Burnaby.

Cassava at Superstore: $2.58 (regular $3.75)

That is $1.17 in savings, or 31.2% off. This is one of the stronger discounts in the snapshot, both in percentage and in dollars. For shoppers who regularly purchase cassava, this provides a useful price-proof reference when comparing weekly promos.

Brussels Sprouts at Independent: $0.66 (regular $1.32)

That is $0.66 off, which is exactly 50% off regular, making it the largest percentage discount in the dataset. From a consumer value perspective, that discount is unusually clean and easy to interpret because the current price is precisely half the regular price.

The limitation is just as important as the deal: because Independent is represented by one item here, this does not establish Independent’s overall price level in Burnaby. It does, however, document one verified promotional price that a shopper can look for when planning a produce run.

What shoppers can conclude from this Burnaby dataset

Conclusion 1: Superstore is the best-documented banner in this snapshot

Conclusion 2: Independent shows the strongest percentage discount on a tracked item

Conclusion 3: Most tracked items are discounted versus regular price

Conclusion 4: Cross-store “cheapest overall” claims should be avoided here

Practical guidance: how to use these prices in a real shopping plan

Use price-proof items as anchors

Build meals around the largest verified discounts

• Butternut squash offers the biggest dollar savings at Superstore ($1.79 off).
• Brussels sprouts offer the biggest percentage savings at Independent (50% off).
• Broccoli crowns offer a strong, common-staple discount at Superstore (33.2% off).

Treat “priced-items basket totals” as partial, not complete

Method note: where these Burnaby prices come from

Because the dataset is limited to a small set of produce items, this page intentionally avoids broader claims about overall grocery inflation, full-cart affordability, or banner-wide rankings beyond the items shown. The value is precision: a small, verifiable snapshot that can be checked against current shopping needs.
