I got 6 cobs last week from Fortino's at $0.19 each. Same parent store, so hopefully same quality. They were delicious. I grilled them on the BBQ and salt water brined them (Persian style). Sooooo good. Sooooo summer I'm gonna see if I can get a few of these No Frill cobs! Thanks

Was it sweet corn?
Alot of times stores say sweet corn, then it's actually peaches and cream corn.

Thanks OP.
For those south of the GTA, Fortinos supermarket had them for the same price (19 cents) for the past week (expiry tomorrow). Easy price-match at No Frills, no need to wait until Thursday.

Thanks OP . I will PM at RCSS got some last week and the were very good

How you get to preview the flyers so early?

Wished there was a Fortinos in the East (of Yonge St) end.

No frills stores in my area only price match local stores (each has their own list) and Fortinos is not local to them.

Food Basic corn yesterday was about the diameter of a Costco hotdog, store should be embarrassed to display.

Also on rollback sale at Walmart right now.

Doesn't work. Narrow jaw means these pastes and creams don't really work for me. I can eat just about anything just by fitting my dentures into my mouth. That includes hard nuts, steak, pork chops, etc. but biting like you would for corn on the cob isn't possible. I don't miss it though nor the bad teeth and periodontal disease I used to have that kept me from enjoying anything for more than 8 years...

The produce buyer for Food Basics visits the dumpster behind Longo's to supply Food Basics.

So where do they go for their meat? Talk about pitiful poor meat quality that Food Basics carries. Even for discount store level quality meats, Food Basics should be ashamed.

Walmart will have the Whole Watermelon (11lbs) for $2.87, so No Frills will almost certainly Auto Price-Match Walmart for it.

Peaches and cream corn is a SPECIFIC variety of corn, that happens to be bi-color. There are other varieties that are 2 color that may not be PEACHES AND CREAM.

Sweet corn could be all yellow, white or "bi-color".

Peaches and Cream is the sweetest, but sometimes it is impossible to know what the seed variety was as "bi-color" and P&C looks the same.

Either way it is all YUMMY !

When you drive through Ontario and you see hundreds of kms of corn fields, you realize why they can be sold this cheap.

It is wonderful, thank you farmers

A lot of it is feed corn, not sweet. Everything around here is all feed.

Agree, fresh local produce is awesome!
