We use extra virgin olive oil here. To buy it at the local store it is tres expensive, so whenever my father in law goes to Costco I get him to pick up a container of Kirtland's for me. We get the 5 litre container and it's usually about $28.
However, this week it was on sale in TWO flyers! Superstore and No Frills. Same brand. Same company owns both stores. WAY different prices!
Superstore had their 1 litre Gallo extra virgin olive oil on for $5.99. That's $29.95 for the same amount that I pay $28 for. No savings.

Then I saw the No Frills flyer and I had to do a double take. There, on the front page, was the EXACT SAME OIL on sale!! Gallo extra virgin olive oil on for $3.33/litre! That's $16.65 for the same amount that I pay $28 for at Costco! YES! It's a great deal! Today, I bought 12 for my storage.
So, if you use olive oil, run to No Frills and check it out! From what I have been able to understand, No Frills DOES NOT give out rain cheques. Please let me know if I am wrong, but last night I wasn't able to get one for chicken.
Know of any other great deals out there this week? Send it on in and we'll post them all!
Enjoy your day!

I still have several bottles of olive oil from the last time No Frills had it on sale! Same price - what a bargain!
Giant Tiger has Kellog's cereals on for 1/2 price!
How will you be able to use it all before it goes rancid? I have read that EVOO should be used within 6 months.
It is a great deal, however be careful with large amounts of EVOO because it doesn't have a long shelf life. It oxidize in about 6 weeks so be sure to use it up by then. Also storing in a dark place or buying a brand that has darker packaging can preserve it.
It really does pay to check store flyers! A lot of people lose out on some great savings, but it takes no time at all to check and make a shopping list. Paying just over half price is a great steal!
