Finding the hidden gems in Ontario can make grocery shopping a lot more exciting, especially when prices are exceptionally low.
The Grocery Outlet is a supermarket in Ontario that recently made an appearance on TikTok and went viral for its low prices.
Bailey Barbosa shared a TikTok video of what the grocery store looks like and all the different things she found.
Obviously, I had to check it out for myself. So on Thursday, I drove to the Grocery Outlet at 1150 Sheppard Ave West in North York and it blew my mind!
Here are seven things I found at the Grocery Outlet that shook me to my core.
Cholula
Price:
- Grocery Outlet: $1.99
- Loblaws: $6.99
The first thing I spotted when I walked into the Grocery Outlet was how ridiculously cheap the Cholula hot sauce was. I love sauce. If you open my fridge, you'll find a wide array of flavours and sauces. However, buying Cholula from a supermarket, which I often go to, is quite pricey. So, it was shocking to see how cheap it can actually be purchased for.
SodaStream Classic Cola Flavour
Price:
- Grocery Outlet: $0.05
- Canadian Tire: $6.99
Yes, you read that right. The same exact SodaStream product you buy in-store was spotted at the Grocery Outlet and it was shockingly cheap! It was five cents per bottle.
When I saw that, I thought to myself, "when was the last time you ever saw anything that cheap?" and the answer was NEVER!
Olivieri Ravioli, Braised Beef au jus
Price:
- Grocery Outlet: 3 for $5
- Real Canadian Superstore: $12.49
At any supermarket, one pack of the Olivieri Ravioli in the Braised Beef au Jus is more than $10. Real Canadian Superstore had them available for $12.49. However, you could get three packs of them at the Grocery Outlet for $5. So if you were to get three containers from the Superstore, it would've cost you nearly $40!
JUST Egg
Price:
- Grocery Outlet: $6.99
- Loblaws: $7.49
Being vegan doesn't come cheap. Don't get me wrong,
I am not vegan, but sometimes I enjoy eating plant-based products because they feel healthier. When I found JUST Egg at the Grocery Outlet, I was shocked because I didn't expect to see such specific products as this one. And, even though the price difference wasn't so much, it was still cheaper, which counts!
Oat Dream
Price:
- Grocery Outlet: $0.50
- Instacart: $3.50
Do you spend a lot of money on milk alternatives? Well, maybe you should start getting your milk from the Grocery Outlet because it's literally cheaper than any milk I've ever seen. They also had a whole wall of oat milk, and each carton cost 50 cents.
Udi's Frozen Gluten Free Bagels
Price:
- Grocery Outlet: $3.99
- Metro: $6.49
Living a gluten-free lifestyle doesn't come cheap; sometimes, options can be pretty limited. So spotting a gluten-free product at the Grocery Outlet felt like there were options for everyone. Also, the price of the bread was, more or less, half the price of it anywhere else.
Kraft Dinner
Price:
We all know that Kraft Dinner is already quite cheap. But finding it for less than a dollar is relatively rare—
it's not even that cheap at Dollarama. For the deal offered at Metro, you can buy at least five KD boxes for $5 at the Grocery Outlet compared to the three they offer.
Other than the items mentioned above, I also found a bunch of other things that blew my mind. But I did wonder why they were all so cheap, so I asked.
The lady behind the counter told me that the prices are exceptionally low because all the products are close to their best-before date, which means that supermarkets want them off their aisles, and that's where the Grocery Outlet has some room to shine.
So, when looking around, keep an eye out for the best before date and pick items you know you'll consume before they expire!
Also, there are many locations around Ontario, so check it out if you get the chance!
