Big Salad — $80.25 total, $6.69 per serving

Big Salad costs $80.25 for 12 servings in Saskatchewan, with a listed cost per serving of $6.69. The recipe is tagged as a salad, has a 20-minute prep time, and is marked vegetarian, no fish, no pork, and no shellfish. It is priced under Independent as the recipe store name, but its ingredient list spans Independent, Freshco, Costco Regina, Costco, Extrafoods, FreshCo 33rd St & Avenue, and extrafoods 910 Broadway Ave Saskatoon.

This is the broadest ingredient list in the collection, which explains why you see a higher total than the shorter Salad Mix recipe. You are pricing Dried Cranberries at $8.00 from Independent, Celery Sticks at $5.49 from Freshco, English Cucumber at $3.19 from Costco Regina, Lettuce Iceberg at $3.49 from extrafoods 910 Broadway Ave Saskatoon, Shallots Onions at $11.00 from Freshco, and Green Onions at $7.99 from Costco. The list continues with Radishes at $1.99 from Extrafoods, Whole Sweet Red Peppers at $4.29 from Independent, Sweet Bell Pepper Yellow at $11.00 from Freshco, Radicchio Lettuce at $2.04 from Extrafoods, Whole Baby Carrots at $5.00 from Independent, Compliments Roasted Salted Sunflower Seeds 450 g at $4.50 from FreshCo 33rd St & Avenue, Spinach at $1.49 from Independent, Red Grape Tomato at $7.99 from Costco, and Compliments Croutons Lightly Seasoned 145 g at $2.79 from Freshco.

If you want a large-format vegetarian dish for a Saskatchewan gathering, Big Salad gives you 12 servings and a highly varied ingredient base. You should treat it as a produce-forward recipe that benefits from checking multiple stores, because the priced ingredients are not concentrated at one banner. For example, Independent appears for Dried Cranberries, Whole Sweet Red Peppers, Whole Baby Carrots, and Spinach, while Freshco appears for Celery Sticks, Shallots Onions, Sweet Bell Pepper Yellow, and Croutons.

Salad Mix — $28.12 total, $2.01 per serving

If your priority is cheap seasonal meals Saskatchewan households can scale for lunches or sides, Salad Mix is the most efficient listed option by cost per serving. Its $28.12 total is higher than Chicken with Rice at $10.28, but it serves 14 rather than 4, and the provided cost per serving is lower at $2.01. You should consider Salad Mix when you need volume, dietary flexibility, and a short 10-minute prep time.

Curry Sauce — $46.20 total, $5.78 per serving

For your seasonal grocery list, Curry Sauce is useful if you already plan to cook grains, vegetables, or proteins at home and want a flavour base. It is not the lowest total recipe in the collection, but it offers 8 servings and a shorter prep time than Chicken with Rice.

You can read this table two ways. By total cost, the order starts with Chicken with Rice at $10.28, then Salad Mix at $28.12, Curry Sauce at $46.20, Chicken Salad at $76.29, and Big Salad at $80.25. By cost per serving, Salad Mix at $2.01 comes before Chicken with Rice at $2.57, then Curry Sauce at $5.78, Big Salad at $6.69, and Chicken Salad at $7.63.

That difference is important for recipe costs Saskatchewan readers compare online. A low total cost does not always mean the lowest per-serving cost, and a larger recipe can sometimes be more economical per plate. Your best choice depends on whether you need a small complete meal, a large salad base, a sauce component, or a higher-protein prepared salad.

You can use this table to identify which items deserve the most attention before you shop. A $0.99 Cilantro line will not affect your total the same way as $24.49 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, $12.99 Red Onions, or $11.99 Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. If you are planning more than one recipe, pay special attention to overlapping items such as Celery Sticks, which appear in both Big Salad at $5.49 from Freshco and Chicken Salad at $5.49 from Freshco.

Store names also matter because the visible recipes pull from several Saskatchewan banners and locations. Extrafoods appears with Radishes at $1.99, Red Cabbage at $4.36, Romaine Lettuce at $3.49, Radicchio Lettuce at $2.04, and Chicken Broth at $1.49. Costco Regina appears with English Cucumber at $3.19, Romaine Lettuce Hearts at $10.29, Kirkland Signature Ground Turmeric at $6.59, and Lemon at $11.39. Independent appears frequently across pantry, produce, dairy, and chicken items.

How to Build Your Seasonal Grocery List

Start your Saskatchewan seasonal grocery list with the recipe total you want to control: $10.28 for Chicken with Rice, $28.12 for Salad Mix, $46.20 for Curry Sauce, $76.29 for Chicken Salad, or $80.25 for Big Salad. Once you choose the recipe format, group ingredients by store so your list matches the real priced rows. Source: eezly real-time price tracking.

If your goal is cheap seasonal meals Saskatchewan households can repeat, your first decision should be serving count. Chicken with Rice gives you 4 servings at $2.57 each, which works well for a single dinner plan. Salad Mix gives you 14 servings at $2.01 each, which makes sense if you want a large side dish, a lunch base, or a salad component that can stretch across multiple meals.

Next, group the store stops. For Chicken with Rice, you can focus mainly on Independent for Fully Cooked Rice White Rice at $3.79 and California Vegetable Blend Mixed Vegetables at $5.00, with Chicken Broth listed at $1.49 from Extrafoods. For Salad Mix, you are looking at Costco Regina for Romaine Lettuce Hearts at $10.29, Costco for Green Onions at $7.99, and Extrafoods for Radishes at $1.99, Red Cabbage at $4.36, and Romaine Lettuce at $3.49.

For larger recipes, your list should separate higher-priced items from lower-priced fillers. In Chicken Salad, Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast at $24.49 from Independent is the dominant priced ingredient, followed by Red Onions at $12.99 from Freshco and Lemon at $11.39 from Costco Regina. In Big Salad, you should pay attention to Shallots Onions at $11.00 from Freshco, Sweet Bell Pepper Yellow at $11.00 from Freshco, Dried Cranberries at $8.00 from Independent, Green Onions at $7.99 from Costco, and Red Grape Tomato at $7.99 from Costco.

You should also decide whether your meal plan needs one complete dish or several components. Curry Sauce at $46.20 can support other foods you already have, while Salad Mix at $28.12 can function as a base or side. Chicken with Rice at $10.28 is the most self-contained lower-cost option in the provided collection because its listed ingredients already include rice, vegetables, and broth.

Finally, use the recipe tags to reduce waste. If you need vegetarian recipes, Big Salad and Salad Mix both qualify, with Salad Mix also tagged vegan and gluten free. If you are avoiding red meat, Chicken with Rice and Chicken Salad are both tagged no beef, no lamb, no pork, and no red meat. Your seasonal grocery list becomes more practical when the recipes match both your dietary rules and the stores you are willing to visit.

What These Saskatchewan Prices Mean for May Meal Planning

For May 2026 meal planning in Saskatchewan, the best value depends on whether you prioritize total bill size, cost per serving, prep time, or dietary fit. Chicken with Rice is the lowest total-cost recipe at $10.28, while Salad Mix has the lowest listed cost per serving at $2.01. Source: eezly real-time price tracking.

You should not treat all “seasonal” recipes as interchangeable. A salad recipe can be a side dish, a lunch base, or a main course depending on its ingredients, serving count, and protein content. Big Salad costs $80.25 for 12 servings and uses 15 priced ingredients, while Salad Mix costs $28.12 for 14 servings and uses 5 priced ingredients. Both are salad-tagged recipes, but they serve different grocery-planning roles.

Prep time may also affect your choice. Salad Mix has a 10-minute prep time, Curry Sauce and Chicken Salad are both listed at 15 minutes, Big Salad is listed at 20 minutes, and Chicken with Rice is listed at 35 minutes. If you are prioritizing speed, Salad Mix gives you both the shortest prep time and the lowest cost per serving in the visible recipe list. If you are prioritizing the lowest checkout total, Chicken with Rice remains the most compact option at $10.28.

For Saskatchewan readers comparing recipe costs Saskatchewan-wide, the store mix is also useful. The active provincial banners listed in the data include Costco, Freshco, No Frills, Real Canadian Superstore, Safeway, Sobeys, Walmart, Wholesale Club, Your Independent Grocer, Extrafoods, FreshCo, Superstore, and related banner names. The recipe rows themselves use specific stores such as Independent, Freshco, Costco Regina, Extrafoods, FreshCo 33rd St & Avenue, Costco, and extrafoods 910 Broadway Ave Saskatoon.
