Farm Boy vs Real Canadian Superstore in Mississauga: Which Is Actually Cheaper? (2026 Price Data)

Based on our latest price tracking in Mississauga, on the shared items where we could directly compare per-kilogram pricing, Real Canadian Superstore came out ahead more often than Farm Boy. But the picture is mixed: Farm Boy actually wins on sliced cheese, and several items are priced by the package with no weight listed, making a direct comparison impossible.

The Big Picture

We compared items across both stores where recent community submissions overlapped. Where we could measure per-kilogram pricing, Real Canadian Superstore undercut Farm Boy on tomatoes and yogurt, while Farm Boy came out cheaper on sliced cheese. Several other items — including ground beef and one shredded cheese submission — were priced by the package at Farm Boy without a listed weight, so a per-kilogram comparison is not possible from the available data.

Dairy and Cheese Comparisons

Yogurt prices varied wildly depending on the brand and package size. Real Canadian Superstore had Yoplait Source Yogurt on sale for $3.50 for 650 g (about $5.38/kg). In contrast, Farm Boy sold Wegmans Organic Greek Yogurt for $6.99 for 150 g on sale (regular $7.99), which works out to about $46.60/kg. These are different varieties — regular vs Greek — but per kilogram, the RCSS option is dramatically cheaper.

Cheese told a more mixed story. For sliced cheese, Real Canadian Superstore offered Cracker Barrel Cheese Slices on sale at $4.77 for 220 g (about $21.68/kg), while Farm Boy priced Braums Sliced cheese at $4.99 for 12 oz on sale (regular $5.99) — about $14.67/kg. That makes Farm Boy the cheaper choice on sliced cheese by a wide margin per kilogram. On shredded cheese, 3 cheese shredded at Real Canadian Superstore was $5.49 for 285 g on sale (regular $6.79) — about $19.26/kg — versus Armstrong old shredded cheese at Farm Boy for $6.77 per package on sale (regular $7.99). Farm Boy's submission does not list a weight, so we can not compute a per-kg rate for that one.

Meat and Produce

Chicken breast is another category where the pricing formats make direct comparison tricky. Farm Boy listed Maple Lodge Chicken breast roast at $2.49 for 100 g on sale (regular $2.99) — that works out to $24.90/kg. Meanwhile, Real Canadian Superstore had Farmer Focus Boneless skinless chicken breast on sale at $14.00 for a 3-pack (about $4.67 each). The submission does not list a package weight, so a per-kilogram comparison is not possible.

For ground beef, Farm Boy offered Diamond Valley Grass Fed Lean Ground Beef at $6.99 per package on sale (regular $9.99); the submission does not list a weight. Real Canadian Superstore priced its 95% Lean Certified Ground Beef Sirloin USA at $12.00 for 454 g on sale — about $26.43/kg. Without the Farm Boy weight, we can not confirm which is the better deal per kilogram.

Finally, tomatoes were the produce match-up with clear data on both sides. Real Canadian Superstore had Double Diamond Farms Tomatoes On The Vine on sale at $0.99/lb (about $2.18/kg). Farm Boy sold Shoprite Tomatoes at $1.95/lb on sale (about $4.30/kg) — nearly double RCSS per kilogram.

Bottom Line

Where the data lets us compare directly by weight, Real Canadian Superstore was cheaper on tomatoes and yogurt, while Farm Boy was cheaper on sliced cheese. Most of the prices above are sale prices, so cycle timing matters as much as store choice for many of these items.
