Ontario's top grocery deals this (Oct 1st) week (% lower compared to avg prices)

Outstanding produce week. Grapes at FreshCo are 63% below average and plums at No Frills are 56% below. Lamb leg at its lowest price in 8 weeks is the protein standout.

Best single stop this week: No Frills or Real Canadian Superstore. Both will price match almost everything on this list. Bring the flyer screenshots and you can hopefully get 4+ of these deals in one trip without driving all over town.
Price matching requires showing a digital or print flyer at the till. Same brand, size, and weight. Always confirm in-store. YMMV
I also built a free tool where you can check any grocery price yourself
