Supermarket Specials, Feb. 19-27

Well, like they say: All good things must come to an end. After a long and hopefully, helpful run, the Supermarket Specials has reached its final week.

That doesn’t mean we won’t continue to seek out deals to share with fellow bargain hunters; there just won’t be a weekly roundup devoted to spotlighting the grocery specials.

Not to worry: There are several sites, including Save.ca, flyers.ca, flyeronfire.ca and redflagdeals.ca, out there that you can visit to find deals. Here is a sampling of this week’s specials. Over and out.

While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, this is my subjective listing of good deals. I can’t guarantee these prices; the final say is up to the store(s). This is not an advertisement; no store pays for inclusion in this listing. Individual stores may offer additional in-house specials.
