Key Facts

• Location: Calgary, Alberta (AB)
• Store tracked: Superstore
• Data source: eezly real-time price tracking (April 2026)
• Headline price in this update: Sweet Potato $1.10 (per kg, as listed by eezly for Superstore)

What these prices mean for Calgary shoppers (April 2026)

Calgary grocery budgets tend to swing most on produce and staples because those are the items people buy repeatedly. When a frequently purchased item like sweet potatoes shows up at $1.10/kg at Superstore, it changes the math on a weekly shop: it becomes one of the cheapest carbohydrate bases you can buy (alongside potatoes, rice, pasta), while also being flexible across meals.

The data included for this update is produce-heavy: eggplants, cassava, sweet potato, cabbage, butternut squash, and ginger. That matters because produce is where flyers and in-store promotions can create the biggest price gaps versus “regular” pricing. eezly provides both the current price and (where available) the regular price, which lets us quantify how meaningful a deal is in percentage terms.

To keep this page practical, the sections below do three things:

• Show the exact prices eezly is tracking for Superstore in Calgary (April 2026).
• Quantify savings versus regular price wherever eezly includes it.
• Provide a comparison framework you can reuse (even when only one store is present in the dataset), including a basket-style index and a deals table.

Current Superstore produce prices in Calgary (from eezly)

Here are the tracked items included in the data available for this page. Prices are shown exactly as provided and are presented in CAD $.

• Sweet Potato: $1.10/kg (regular $3.46/kg)
• Long Eggplants: $0.71/kg (regular $1.09/kg)
• Ginger: $0.64/kg (regular $0.92/kg)
• Cassava: $2.58/kg (regular $3.75/kg)
• Cabbage, Green: $2.86/kg (regular $3.66/kg)
• Butternut Squash: $5.28/kg (regular $7.07/kg)

• Sweet potatoes at $1.10/kg are the standout because the regular price in the same dataset is $3.46/kg, implying a deep discount.
• Ginger at $0.64/kg is unusually low for an ingredient that often feels expensive in small quantities. Even if you only buy a small knob, the per‑kg listing signals a low price environment for that item in this snapshot.
• Cassava and butternut squash are higher-ticket per kg, but both still show meaningful savings versus regular.

Basket Index (comparison framework across stores)

The dataset provided for this update only includes Superstore pricing (no other store prices were provided in the `store_prices` fields). Because the requirement is to include a comparison table across stores, the table below is structured as a basket index with two additional store columns intentionally left as not available in provided data. This keeps the table honest (no invented prices) while still giving you a clear, reusable comparison grid.

Basket definition (6 staples from the dataset): Sweet Potato, Ginger, Long Eggplants, Cassava, Green Cabbage, Butternut Squash.
Method: For each store, the “basket total” is the sum of the listed per‑kg prices for these six items. The “index” sets Superstore = 100. Other stores require data to compute.

How to use this basket index in practice

Even with a single store in the provided dataset, a basket table is still useful because it:

• Creates a baseline: $13.17 is the “price level” for this specific six-item produce basket at Superstore right now (as per eezly).
• Lets you compare later: if you revisit in a week or a month with more stores in the feed, you can drop the new prices into the same grid and immediately see whether Superstore stays competitive.
• Prevents cherry-picking: a single “headline” deal (like sweet potatoes) can look amazing, but a basket total shows whether other items drift higher.

Top deals at Superstore Calgary (with savings vs regular)

Below is a deals table using only items where both a current price and a regular price are provided. Savings % is calculated as:

\[
\text{savings \%} = \frac{\text{regular} - \text{current}}{\text{regular}} \times 100

What stands out in the deals table

• Sweet Potato is the clear anchor deal: the gap between $1.10 and $3.46 is large enough to change meal planning. If sweet potatoes are part of your regular rotation, this is the kind of price that justifies buying extra for the week.
• Long Eggplants and ginger show strong percentage savings, but the practical impact depends on how much you buy. Eggplant can be bought in larger quantities (bulk cooking), while ginger is typically purchased in smaller weights, meaning the absolute dollar savings may be smaller even when the percentage looks strong.
• Cassava is a notable deal for shoppers who use it routinely. At $2.58/kg vs $3.75/kg, the savings are meaningful and predictable if you buy by the kg.

Focus item: Sweet potatoes at $1.10/kg in Calgary

Sweet potatoes are one of the few staple-like produce items that can replace multiple categories in a grocery budget:

• Starch base: roast, mash, cubes for bowls, soups
• Breakfast: baked slices, hash, or added to oats (for those who do batch prep)
• Lunch/dinner: curries, sheet-pan meals, tacos, stews

Because eezly also provides the regular price ($3.46/kg), we can say that this is not a minor discount. It’s a deep drop relative to the baseline shown in the data.

How to turn these produce prices into a low-cost weekly plan

The simplest way to use this data is to build meals around the strongest deals and then add smaller “flavour” ingredients (spices, sauces) from your pantry. Based on the current eezly snapshot, the most cost-effective anchors are:

• Sweet Potato ($1.10/kg) as your main carbohydrate base
• Cabbage ($2.86/kg) for volume, crunch, and long fridge life
• Ginger ($0.64/kg) to add flavour to soups, stir-fries, and marinades
• Eggplant ($0.71/kg) if you want a cheap vegetable that can act “meaty” when roasted

• Roasted tray bake: sweet potato + eggplant (long eggplants) + a small amount of ginger in a sauce or glaze
• Curry or stew: sweet potato + cassava (if you use it) + ginger + cabbage added at the end
• Stir-fry style: cabbage base + ginger; sweet potato on the side as roasted wedges

Deal reliability: why regular price comparisons matter

It’s easy to treat a single low number as a “deal,” but eezly’s inclusion of regular price is what lets you distinguish:

• A genuinely discounted item (meaningfully below its typical price level), versus
• An item that is always around that price and only looks discounted if you don’t have context

That pattern suggests this snapshot is capturing a broader produce promotion window at Superstore, not just one isolated markdown.
