According to eezly's real-time tracking of 196,000 products across 2,700 Canadian grocery stores, Surrey shoppers are seeing verified produce prices as low as Brussels sprouts at $0.66/kg at No Frills as of April 2026. This page focuses on a small, trackable set of staples and deal-style prices pulled from eezly links, presented in Canadian dollars and metric units (per kg or each, as listed on the item).

The headline for this page highlights an extreme low point (“Eggplant $0.33/kg”), but the verified dataset available in this April 2026 snapshot is primarily other produce items. Rather than speculating, the analysis below sticks to what can be checked: specific products, their current prices, the store banner, and (where provided) the regular price used to compute measurable savings.

Two practical questions guide the rest of the page: 1) Given the staples that are actually present in the data, how does a small “basket index” total out by store. 2) Which items show the largest confirmed discount versus their regular price.

Because this is a partial snapshot, the goal is not to crown an absolute “cheapest store in Surrey.” The goal is to give shoppers a reliable, auditable read on what is cheap, what is expensive, and which promotions are large enough to matter.

What’s included (and what is not)

Included in this snapshot

• Store banners represented: Superstore and No Frills
• Product types: produce staples and a small set of additional items
• Units: $CAD and metric ($/kg or each, depending on the listing)
• Where available: regular price (used to compute discount percentage)

Not included (by design)

• Prices not present in the data provided (no estimating)
• A complete weekly basket across all categories (meat, dairy, pantry, household)
• Cross-store prices for the same product (most items appear with one store only)

This is why the tables below repeatedly emphasize “available entries only.” The analysis is meant to be conservative: it would rather be incomplete than misleading.

A few immediate takeaways from the verified list:

• Superstore accounts for most of the tracked staples in this snapshot, including the higher-priced item (butternut squash at $5.28/kg).
• No Frills appears with one especially low-priced staple (Brussels sprouts at $0.66/kg).
• Even within produce alone, Surrey’s shelf prices can span multiple dollars per kilogram depending on the item and promotion cycle.

Basket Index (Staples) — what a small produce basket costs where prices exist

Staples used for the basket index (6 items)

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

Important limitation: the dataset provides one store price per item in this snapshot, not multi-store listings for the same product. That means each store’s “basket total” reflects only the items that have a verified price at that banner.

How to interpret the basket index without over-reading it

• No Frills shows the lowest basket total only because one basket item is priced there in this snapshot. With five missing items, it is not an apples-to-apples basket.
• Superstore’s basket total is higher because it contains five priced items, including the highest-priced line item in the list (butternut squash at $5.28/kg).
• The “switching savings” figure in the Key Facts is a snapshot math result, not a promise. It compares the available basket totals: $13.49 at Superstore vs $0.66 at No Frills, a difference of $12.83. With complete cross-store data, the gap could shrink or widen.

Still, even a partial basket can be actionable. It indicates where there is more verified coverage (Superstore for these staples) and where there is a standout low price (No Frills for Brussels sprouts).

Best measurable deals — current price vs regular price

Discount method used

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

This approach is intentionally strict: no regular price means no computed deal ranking.

What the deal table says (and what it does not)

• Best verified discount: Brussels sprouts at No Frills, $0.66/kg, is 40.0% off its listed regular price of $1.10/kg.
• Strong repeat-purchase discount: broccoli crowns at Superstore, $1.67/kg, is 33.2% off the $2.50/kg regular price.
• Meaningful specialty-staple drop: cassava at Superstore, $2.58/kg, is 31.2% off the $3.75/kg regular price.

What it does not say

• It does not prove these are the best deals in all of Surrey, only the best among items included in this dataset snapshot.
• It does not guarantee stock availability, limits, or in-store conditions.
• It does not provide a cross-store comparison for the same SKU in the same week.

This distinction matters for shoppers using price pages as planning tools: the deal table is strongest as a “what is worth building meals around this week” prompt.

What these Surrey produce prices mean for real shopping decisions

1) The price range is wide, even within vegetables

• $0.66/kg (Brussels sprouts at No Frills)

• $5.28/kg (butternut squash at Superstore)

That is roughly an eightfold spread inside one aisle category. The implication is straightforward: a “produce budget” is often decided by a handful of line items. One expensive kilogram-priced vegetable can outweigh several discounted greens.

2) Percentage off matters, but so does the dollar-per-kg reality

• High-frequency items: Broccoli is a common staple. A 33.2% discount can compound quickly over multiple trips.
• Typically higher-priced items: Butternut squash shows 25.3% off, but the current price is still $5.28/kg, which can feel expensive at checkout.

For meal planning, this means the best strategy is often to combine:

• one or two deep-discount staples (for volume), and
• one “premium” item only if it fits a planned recipe and reduces food waste.

3) Store coverage in this snapshot is uneven, so use it as a directional signal

That pattern supports a cautious conclusion: in this dataset snapshot, Superstore is easier to build a verified produce run around, while No Frills has at least one measurable low-price opportunity. With broader coverage, either store could look better overall, but these are the provable signals.

4) A practical “build-a-week” approach using only the verified items

• Base vegetables (lower cost per kg in this snapshot):

• Secondary add-ons (mid to higher cost, but discounted vs regular):

• Higher-ticket item (discounted, but still expensive):

This kind of structure helps avoid a common budgeting issue: buying multiple high $/kg items in the same trip and wondering why produce totals spike.

5) How to use this page responsibly when prices change mid-week

• Treat it as a verified snapshot for April 2026, not a permanent price list.
• Click through to the item links when ready to shop so the most recent price is visible.
• Use the discount table to prioritize items where the regular price is known, since those have the clearest “deal” context.

This is where eezly is particularly useful: it ties the conversation to trackable items and current numbers rather than memory, flyers, or unverified anecdotes.

Store-by-store notes (based on the verified snapshot)

Superstore in Surrey — what stands out in April 2026

• Broccoli crowns: $1.67/kg (regular $2.50/kg, 33.2% off)
• Cassava: $2.58/kg (regular $3.75/kg, 31.2% off)
• Sweet potato: $1.10/kg (regular $1.37/kg, 19.7% off)
• Green cabbage: $2.86/kg (regular $3.66/kg, 21.9% off)
• Butternut squash: $5.28/kg (regular $7.07/kg, 25.3% off)

Interpretation:

• Superstore shows multiple discounted staples at once, which is useful when trying to build a coherent produce run.
• The presence of butternut squash at $5.28/kg is the main upward pressure on the basket index total.

No Frills in Surrey — what stands out in April 2026

• Brussels sprouts: $0.66/kg (regular $1.10/kg, 40.0% off)

Interpretation:

• The Brussels sprouts price is the strongest measurable discount in the dataset provided.
• With more items priced at No Frills, the store could look more competitive across a fuller basket; this snapshot simply does not contain those additional entries.

Methodology and limitations (for transparent comparisons)

Methodology

• All prices shown are drawn from the provided dataset and associated eezly links.
• Units are reported exactly as listed on the item: per kg or each.
• Deal ranking uses the listed regular price and the formula shown above.

Limitations

• The dataset is partial and does not represent all produce items, all banners, or all Surrey locations.
• Most items appear with a single store price, preventing true cross-store comparisons for the same product.
• The “cheapest store” statement in the Key Facts refers only to the available basket total in this snapshot, not a comprehensive weekly shop.

Within those limits, the conclusions remain stable: Surrey produce prices vary widely, the best verified discount here is Brussels sprouts at No Frills, and Superstore carries most of the priced staples in the current snapshot.

Summary: what to do with these numbers

For shoppers, the most reliable tactic is to plan around one or two discounted staples and avoid stacking too many high $/kg items in the same trip unless they are tied to specific meals.
