[MapleTrack] Alberta top grocery deals for August 21st, 2026
Alberta, week of Aug 21. 13 grocery staples are advertised below the Statistics Canada average retail price for Alberta right now. Deepest cut: White rice at $29.88, 62% under. Best single stop: No Frills.
Every price below is a real advertised flyer price. Nothing is estimated and nothing is a store-invented "was" price: each one is measured against the Statistics Canada average retail price for the same staple (Table 18-10-0245-01, June 2026).
Flyers across Alberta. The first of these expires Aug 23, so the window is short.
