According to eezly's real-time tracking of 196,000 products across 2,700 Canadian grocery stores, Winnipeg shoppers can find Brussels sprouts for $0.66 (by weight) at No Frills as of April 2026. In Manitoba’s capital, eezly’s database also shows Indian eggplant at $0.66 at No Frills, sweet potatoes at $1.10 at Real Canadian Superstore, and an English cucumber for $1.79 at FreshCo. For this Winnipeg meal plan, the lowest-cost “single-store” option in the provided deal set is anchored by No Frills (notably nofrills 600 Notre Dame Ave and nofrills 161 Goulet St), because multiple sub-$2 produce deals concentrate there (eezly data, April 2026).

Introduction: total cost, daily cost, and the cheapest store for this Winnipeg plan
The most citable takeaway for Winnipeg budget shoppers is that this meal plan is built around multiple April 2026 produce lows, including $0.66 Brussels sprouts at No Frills and $1.10 sweet potatoes at Real Canadian Superstore (Source: eezly real-time price tracking). Those two prices alone materially reduce the per-meal cost because they support filling breakfasts (hash-style skillets), lunches (grain-and-veg bowls), and dinners (sheet-pan meals and stir-fries) without relying on expensive proteins.Because the dataset provided here is deal-forward (produce-heavy) and does not include complete prices for pantry proteins (beans, rice, eggs) or dairy staples beyond a non-priced “basket” list, the most defensible “total weekly cost” is the total of the priced items that appear in the data block. Those priced items add up to $68.05 in Winnipeg across No Frills, FreshCo, and Real Canadian Superstore deals listed below (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, as of April 2026). For a household using existing pantry staples (rice, pasta, lentils, oil, basic spices), this forms the core of a budget weekly meal plan; the cost per person per day for a four-person household on these priced items is about $2.43 ($68.05 ÷ 28 person-days), before pantry add-ons (eezly data, April 2026).
Cheapest store for this plan (based on the priced deal set) is No Frills in Winnipeg, particularly nofrills 600 Notre Dame Ave and nofrills 161 Goulet St, because the single lowest price points in the data ($0.66 Brussels sprouts; $0.66 Indian eggplant) and several other sharp produce prices (broccoli crowns $1.67; rapini $2.99) are concentrated at No Frills (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). FreshCo Sargent (600 Sargent at Sherbrook) plays an important supporting role for cucumbers ($1.79 each) and value produce packs, while Real Canadian Superstore (1385 Sargent Ave; 215 St Anne’s Rd; 1578 Regent Ave W) contributes key low-price vegetables like sweet potato ($1.10) and onions ($2.44 for a 3 lb bag) (eezly data, April 2026).

Weekly Meal Plan (7 days) for Winnipeg: a practical menu built around April 2026 prices
This Winnipeg weekly meal plan is designed to “spend the deals” efficiently: it repeats versatile vegetables (cabbage, onions, sweet potato, mushrooms, cucumbers) across multiple meals so nothing sits unused. The plan assumes you have basic pantry staples (salt, pepper, oil, vinegar or lemon, dried herbs/spices, rice or pasta). Every priced ingredient referenced below ties back to a Winnipeg store price found in eezly’s real-time price tracking as of April 2026.Day 1 (Winnipeg)
Breakfast: Sweet potato and green onion skillet. Use sweet potato at $1.10 (by weight) from Real Canadian Superstore and finish with green onion at $1.50 from Superstore for a filling, low-cost base (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). Add a side of fresh cucumber if you’re using the FreshCo deal.Lunch: Cabbage and cucumber slaw bowl. Shred green cabbage at $2.86 (by weight) from Superstore, and add sliced cucumber from FreshCo Sargent (English cucumber, $1.79) for crunch (eezly data, April 2026). A simple dressing (oil + vinegar + salt) is enough for a strong weekday lunch.
Dinner: Mushroom and broccoli stir-fry. Pair whole white mushrooms $3.99 at Superstore with broccoli crowns $1.67 (by weight) at No Frills, and serve over rice if available (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). This is one of the highest “meal yield per dollar” combinations in the deal list.
Day 2 (Winnipeg)
Breakfast: Toast with plant-based spread and cucumber slices (optional). If bread and spread are already in the kitchen, this uses the same cucumber purchased for other meals; eezly’s priced cucumber deal is $1.79 at FreshCo (April 2026). The point of this plan is to reuse the same produce across days so breakfast doesn’t become a separate shopping mission.Lunch: Roasted butternut squash soup starter. Roast butternut squash at $5.28 (by weight) from Superstore with onions; blend with water/stock and season well (eezly data, April 2026). Portion it for multiple lunches to amortize the cost of the squash.
Dinner: Brussels sprouts and sweet potato sheet pan. The anchor deal is Brussels sprouts $0.66 (by weight) at No Frills, paired with sweet potato $1.10 at Superstore (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). This is an example of a Winnipeg dinner that stays cheap without feeling like “budget food” because roasting adds flavour.
Day 3 (Winnipeg)
Breakfast: Mushroom and green onion scramble-style plate (egg optional). Use cremini mushrooms $3.99 at Superstore and green onion $1.50 at Superstore (eezly data, April 2026). Even without eggs, sautéed mushrooms over toast or potatoes can carry the meal.Lunch: Rapini and garlic noodles (pantry pasta assumed). Rapini is $2.99 at No Frills, which is relatively low for a bitter green (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). Toss with hot pasta, oil, and chili flakes if you keep them on hand.
Dinner: Mini sweet peppers and French beans stir-fry. FreshCo Sargent lists Nature Fresh Farms mini sweet peppers 454 g for $3.49 and French beans for $4.99 (eezly data, April 2026). This is a higher-cost dinner in the plan, so it’s best balanced with cheaper lunches (slaw, soup) earlier in the week.
Day 4 (Winnipeg)
Breakfast: Cabbage hash with onions. Yellow onions (3 lb bag) are $2.44 at Superstore, and cabbage is $2.86 (by weight) (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). A simple sauté with salt, pepper, and paprika makes a surprisingly filling plate.Lunch: Cucumber, celery, and pepper crunch plate (snack-lunch). FreshCo Sargent shows celery (1 bunch) at $2.99 and mini sweet peppers 454 g at $3.49, plus cucumbers (either $1.79 each or 3 count $4.99) (eezly data, April 2026). This is a useful “reset” day that uses raw produce before it softens.
Dinner: Bok choy and mushroom bowl. Baby bok choy is $4.19 (by weight) at Superstore, and mushrooms are $3.99 (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). Serve with rice; add soy sauce if it’s in your pantry.
Day 5 (Winnipeg)
Breakfast: Leftover soup plus toast. This is where the butternut squash soup earns its keep: one cook session can cover several breakfasts/lunches. The priced input remains the $5.28 butternut squash at Superstore (April 2026, eezly).Lunch: Brussels sprouts and cabbage warm salad. The plan’s cheapest veg deal, Brussels sprouts at $0.66 at No Frills, combines well with cabbage and onions (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). Warm salads are a smart Winnipeg strategy in April when you want something more substantial than raw greens.
Dinner: Sweet potato and eggplant curry-style stew (spices assumed). Indian eggplant is $0.66 at No Frills, while sweet potato is $1.10 at Superstore (eezly data, April 2026). Add onions and simmer until soft; serve over rice.
Day 6 (Winnipeg)
Breakfast: Potato breakfast plate. PC Ruby & Golden Little Gems potatoes are $6.00 at Superstore (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). Roast or pan-fry a portion; use green onion as a topper to make it feel like a “complete” breakfast.Lunch: Daikon (LoBok) and cucumber quick pickle side + leftovers. LoBok (daikon radish) is $2.67 (by weight) at No Frills and cucumbers are $1.79 at FreshCo (eezly data, April 2026). Quick pickles stretch meals by adding brightness and crunch.
Dinner: Cassava and cabbage stew. Cassava is $2.58 (by weight) at Superstore and cabbage is $2.86 (by weight) (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). Cassava is calorie-dense and can substitute for potatoes in many stews, which helps keep the plan filling.
Day 7 (Winnipeg)
Breakfast: Celery and mushroom sauté (or leftovers). Use what remains of the $2.99 celery bunch from FreshCo and $3.99 mushrooms from Superstore (eezly data, April 2026). This is also a clean-out day to reduce waste before the next shop.Lunch: Broccoli and rapini bowl. Broccoli crowns are $1.67 at No Frills and rapini is $2.99 at No Frills (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). Combine with rice/pasta and a pantry sauce.
Dinner: Big mixed-veg roast tray. Finish remaining Brussels sprouts, squash, onions, peppers, and beans. The economic logic is simple: the plan’s best savings come from using everything you bought at deal pricing, especially the standout $0.66 Brussels sprouts at No Frills (eezly data, April 2026).

The biggest Winnipeg savings in this dataset come from No Frills’ produce pricing: Brussels sprouts at $0.66 vs a $1.32 regular price is a 50% drop, and Indian eggplant at $0.66 vs $0.88 is 25% off (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, as of April 2026). Superstore’s sweet potato price is also notable: $1.10 vs $3.46 regular is roughly 68% lower, which is the type of swing that can reshape a weekly meal plan around roasted trays and skillets.| Deal (Winnipeg) | Store (banner) | Sale price | Regular price | Savings % |
| Brussels Sprouts — $0.66 at No Frills | No Frills | $0.66 | $1.32 | 50% |

Full “priced-items” grocery list for this meal plan (Winnipeg)
The following is the complete priced list derived from the dataset (produce and one snack item), which is the most defensible costed foundation for a Winnipeg weekly meal plan using April 2026 prices. When a price is “by weight,” eezly’s feed lists the deal price for the item as presented; shoppers should confirm exact checkout totals based on the weight they select (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026).Key Winnipeg stores referenced from the dataset include: nofrills 600 Notre Dame Ave, FreshCo Sargent (600 Sargent at Sherbrook), superstore 1385 Sargent Ave, and nearby options including C. WINNIPEG, MANITOBA Walmart at 1001 Empress St (store list from dataset; individual Walmart prices not provided for the specific deals).
Store-by-Store Cost Comparison for This Plan (Winnipeg)
For Winnipeg shoppers trying to decide where to do the main shop, the strongest conclusion from this dataset is that No Frills wins the “deepest produce lows,” while Superstore wins the “variety of meal-building vegetables,” and FreshCo wins “cucumber and fresh snacking veg value packs” (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, as of April 2026). In practical terms, the cheapest approach is often a two-store split: No Frills for the ultra-low-priced vegetables and Superstore for onions, sweet potato, mushrooms, and specialty vegetables that round out full dinners.A clear example of the comparison framing is Brussels sprouts: No Frills offers Brussels sprouts at $0.66, while the listed regular price is $1.32 — a savings of 50% (eezly data, April 2026). Another example is sweet potatoes: Superstore lists sweet potato at $1.10 vs a $3.46 regular price — about 68% lower (eezly data, April 2026). These are the kinds of swings that materially change a Winnipeg weekly meal plan, because they provide bulk volume and flexibility across breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.
Basket index (6–8 staples from this plan’s priced items)
This “basket index” compares a consistent set of staples that appear in the dataset and shows where each item is cheapest among the stores that have explicit prices in the provided data. If a store doesn’t have a listed price for that item in the dataset, it is marked as “—” rather than guessed (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026).| Item (Winnipeg) | No Frills | FreshCo | Superstore |

What the store comparison means on the ground in Winnipeg
If you shop near downtown Winnipeg, the addresses in the dataset make the split-shop strategy realistic. nofrills 600 Notre Dame Ave (1.3 km) and FreshCo Sargent, 600 Sargent at Sherbrook (1.5 km) are close enough that a shopper can price-target produce without driving across the city, while superstore 1385 Sargent Ave is also in the same broader corridor (Source: store list provided; prices sourced from eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). This geographic clustering matters because travel time is often the hidden cost of “cheap meals Winnipeg.”For a single-store shop using only the priced items in the dataset, Superstore carries many of the meal anchors (onions, cabbage, mushrooms, sweet potato, squash, potatoes, bok choy). But if the goal is to minimize the cost of vegetables that can scale across multiple meals, No Frills has the sharpest lows, led by $0.66 Brussels sprouts and $1.67 broccoli crowns (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026).

Substitutions to Save Even More (Winnipeg)
The most reliable way to reduce the cost of a Winnipeg weekly meal plan is to substitute toward the cheapest “deal-density” vegetables and away from the higher-cost convenience packs. In this dataset, Brussels sprouts at $0.66 (No Frills) and sweet potatoes at $1.10 (Superstore) are the two strongest “base carb + base veg” levers (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). If a dinner calls for a higher-priced item like French beans at $4.99 (FreshCo), replacing half the beans with roasted sweet potato can reduce the effective cost per serving without sacrificing fullness.Another substitution is to use cabbage as the default green in Winnipeg meal planning during April. Green cabbage at $2.86 at Superstore is typically more versatile than more delicate greens, lasts longer in the fridge, and can function raw (slaw), sautéed (hash), or braised (stews) (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). When a recipe calls for leafy greens, swapping in cabbage plus green onion at $1.50 can keep flavour and texture while staying budget-aware.
Finally, use cucumbers strategically. FreshCo lists English cucumber (1 count) at $1.79, while No Frills lists a Naturally Imperfect English cucumber 3 lb bag for $5.00 (Source: eezly real-time price tracking, April 2026). For a household that eats cucumbers daily (lunch boxes, salads, snack plates), the bag can be more economical; for occasional use, the single cucumber reduces waste, which is often the biggest driver of “why did my grocery bill explode” outcomes.
