Pasta Salad costs $41.64 for 6 servings at Costco, with a listed cost per serving of $6.94. Source: eezly real-time price tracking. If you want seasonal recipes New Brunswick households can serve cold or prepare ahead, this pasta-tagged recipe is the clearest make-ahead option in the provided data.

The priced ingredients include Mixed Bell Peppers at $9.69 from Costco, Grape Tomatoes at $4.50 from Independent, Pickling Cucumbers at $5.49 from Co-op Beaubear, Green Red Onions at $1.49 from Iga, Black Olives, Sliced at $4.49 from Foodland, Zesty Italian Salad Dressing at $4.00 from Independent, Compliments Shredded Cheese Parmesan 226 g at $7.49 from Co-op Beaubear, and Tinkyáda PASTA JOY Gluten-Free Brown Rice Pasta Vegetable Spirals 340 g at $4.49 from Foodland.

For your grocery list, Pasta Salad is useful when you want a dish that can fit lunches, potlucks, or a side dish role.

If you already have salad dressing, olives, or Parmesan at home, you can use the ingredient list to identify which priced rows matter most for your actual basket, while still treating the $41.64 figure as the full recipe benchmark.

At $8.62 per serving, it sits above Pasta Salad at $6.94 per serving, Skillet Ziti and Vegetables at $4.90 per serving, and Hamburger Rice Skillet at $3.44 per serving.

You should read this table from left to right based on the decision you are making. If your priority is the lowest total recipe cost, Hamburger Rice Skillet at $24.06 is the leading option. If you need 8 servings and want a chicken salad format, Curry Chicken Salad is the only featured recipe with 8 servings, but it carries the highest total and highest cost per serving in the table.

The middle of the table is where your trade-offs become more personal. Skillet Ziti and Vegetables at $29.37 is a lower-cost quick dinner with a $4.90 cost per serving. Pasta Salad at $41.64 is more expensive than Skillet Ziti and Vegetables, but it provides a different meal type that may work better for lunches or shared meals. Chicken Rice Pasta and Vegetables at $49.96 gives you a chicken-based quick dinner below the $68.93 Curry Chicken Salad total.

For a realistic seasonal grocery list New Brunswick families can use, you should also consider overlap. Celery Sticks at $5.00 from Independent appears in Curry Chicken Salad, Hamburger Rice Skillet, and Chicken Rice Pasta and Vegetables. Lemongrass in Water at $4.49 from Iga appears in both Skillet Ziti and Vegetables and Hamburger Rice Skillet. Canned Mushrooms at $1.99 from Independent appears in both Curry Chicken Salad and Chicken Rice Pasta and Vegetables. Those repeated rows can help you organize your list, even though you should not assume a combined basket total unless you are pricing the exact quantities you plan to buy.

Ingredient Price Highlights by Store

You can use ingredient-level prices to decide whether a recipe’s total is driven by protein, cheese, produce, pantry items, or prepared ingredients.

The protein and cheese rows are the clearest cost drivers. Chicken Breast Boneless Skinless at $22.19 from Coop IGA Tracadie-Sheila appears in both chicken recipes, while Sliced Provolone Cheese at $15.89 from Costco is the largest row in Skillet Ziti and Vegetables. If you are choosing between a chicken dinner and a ziti dinner, those two rows explain much of the difference between a $49.96 chicken recipe and a $29.37 skillet ziti recipe.

Produce and vegetable rows vary widely in the data. Mixed Bell Peppers cost $9.69 at Costco for Pasta Salad, while Red Carrots cost $1.42 at Independent for Hamburger Rice Skillet. Broccoli costs $3.99 at Independent in Chicken Rice Pasta and Vegetables, Sweet Green Peppers cost $2.43 at Independent in the same recipe, and Pickling Cucumbers cost $5.49 at Co-op Beaubear in Pasta Salad. These numbers matter because seasonal recipes New Brunswick households prepare in June often involve fresh vegetables, and your basket can shift quickly depending on which vegetables appear in the recipe.

Pantry and packaged items also shape the total. Instant Rice is $3.49 at Iga for Hamburger Rice Skillet, Blue Dragon Rice Noodles 300 g are $3.49 at Co-op Beaubear for Chicken Rice Pasta and Vegetables, Marinara Pasta Sauce is $4.00 at Independent for Skillet Ziti and Vegetables, and Zesty Italian Salad Dressing is $4.00 at Independent for Pasta Salad. When you review your pantry before shopping, these are the rows most likely to already be in your kitchen.

How to Build Your Seasonal Grocery List

You should build your seasonal grocery list New Brunswick plan around the recipe total first, then check high-cost ingredient rows before adding lower-cost pantry items. Source: eezly real-time price tracking. The five featured recipes give you a practical range: $24.06 for Hamburger Rice Skillet, $29.37 for Skillet Ziti and Vegetables, $41.64 for Pasta Salad, $49.96 for Chicken Rice Pasta and Vegetables, and $68.93 for Curry Chicken Salad.

Start by choosing your meal type. If you want the lowest-cost quick dinner, Hamburger Rice Skillet at $24.06 is the most budget-focused choice. If you want a pasta-based dish that can work as a cold seasonal recipe, Pasta Salad at $41.64 gives you vegetables, dressing, olives, Parmesan, and gluten-free brown rice pasta spirals. If you want chicken, your two priced choices are Chicken Rice Pasta and Vegetables at $49.96 and Curry Chicken Salad at $68.93.

Next, group your ingredient list by store. Independent appears across many of the lower-priced rows, including Red Carrots at $1.42, Mandarin Oranges at $1.50, Canned Mushrooms at $1.99, Onion Recipe and Soup Mix at $2.29, Sweet Green Peppers at $2.43, Broccoli at $3.99, Marinara Pasta Sauce at $4.00, Zesty Italian Salad Dressing at $4.00, Mayonnaise at $4.99, Celery Sticks at $5.00, and Lean Ground Beef at $7.37. Iga appears on Green Red Onions at $1.49, Curry Powder at $3.50, Instant Rice at $3.49, Shallots Onions at $4.39, Lemongrass in Water at $4.49, Grapes Duo Green And Red 907 g at $7.98, and Juice Apple Juice Bottle at $8.49.

Then separate the large cost drivers from the small add-ons. Chicken Breast Boneless Skinless at $22.19 from Coop IGA Tracadie-Sheila and Sliced Provolone Cheese at $15.89 from Costco should be checked early because they can shape your final recipe decision. By contrast, Red Carrots at $1.42 from Independent, Mandarin Oranges at $1.50 from Independent, and Canned Mushrooms at $1.99 from Independent are smaller rows that help complete a recipe without dominating the total.

Finally, use recipe overlap to reduce planning friction. Celery Sticks at $5.00 from Independent appears in Curry Chicken Salad, Hamburger Rice Skillet, and Chicken Rice Pasta and Vegetables. Canned Mushrooms at $1.99 from Independent appears in Curry Chicken Salad and Chicken Rice Pasta and Vegetables. Lemongrass in Water at $4.49 from Iga appears in Skillet Ziti and Vegetables and Hamburger Rice Skillet. If you are comparing multiple cheap seasonal meals New Brunswick stores can support, these repeated ingredients make it easier to plan several meals from one organized list.

Where These Prices Fit in New Brunswick Grocery Shopping

These recipe costs are tied to New Brunswick store names including Independent, Costco, Iga, Foodland, Co-op Beaubear, and Coop IGA Tracadie-Sheila. Source: eezly real-time price tracking. You can also situate these recipes within the broader New Brunswick grocery market, where the active grocery banners in the provided data include Atlantic Superstore, Costco, Foodland, Iga, No Frills, Sobeys, Walmart, Your Independent Grocer, RASS, and Wholesale Club.

For your practical shopping route, the recipes show that one recipe may involve several stores at the ingredient level. Pasta Salad is listed with Costco as the recipe store name, but its ingredient rows include Costco, Independent, Co-op Beaubear, Iga, and Foodland. Hamburger Rice Skillet is listed with Independent as the recipe store name, while its ingredients include both Independent and Iga. Chicken Rice Pasta and Vegetables is listed with Coop IGA Tracadie-Sheila, while ingredient rows also include Independent, Co-op Beaubear, and Iga.

That does not mean you need to visit every store for every recipe. Instead, you can use the store names as a price map. If you are already going to Independent, you can note that Lean Ground Beef is $7.37, Red Carrots are $1.42, Celery Sticks are $5.00, Onion Recipe and Soup Mix is $2.29, Broccoli is $3.99, Sweet Green Peppers are $2.43, Canned Mushrooms are $1.99, and Mayonnaise is $4.99 in the featured data.

For recipe costs New Brunswick readers can actually act on, store-level detail is more useful than a generic recipe estimate. A $24.06 Hamburger Rice Skillet, a $29.37 Skillet Ziti and Vegetables, and a $41.64 Pasta Salad give you three different spending tiers before you even consider the two chicken recipes. That makes it easier for you to decide whether this week’s list should centre on ground beef, pasta and vegetables, cold pasta salad, or chicken.
