Welcome to this Friday's roundup of the "Top 5" food deals in my area for the coming week. While some of the deals will be exclusive to the Hamilton area, many of them will be available throughout most or all of Ontario, depending on the stores involved in a particular sale. Sale prices end July 25th unless otherwise noted; Freshco sales end July 24th.

Here are my picks for this week:

1. Pork chops
Pork loin chops are on sale for $1.88/lb at Metro and pork butt chops are $1.99/lb at Fortinos.

2. Blueberries
Pints of blueberries are $1.44 at Food Basics and 2/$2.88 at No Frills. This is the time to buy lots extra and freeze them!

3. Dried fruit
Bulk dried cranberries are $2.99/lb at Fortinos (less than half price!) and a 200 g package of dried apricots is 99 cents at Freshco or $1.00 at Food Basics

4. Ontario green beans
Fresh green beans are one of my favourite summer vegetables! Of course, none of the ones at the store can compare with my fresh-from-the-garden ones, but if you're going to buy them, this is the best time of year to get them fresh and local. They're $1.99/lb at Fortinos.

5.  Plums
Ontario golden plums are $3.99/1.5 L basket at Metro and Fortinos. Red and/or black plums (US) are on sale at Freshco for 99 cents/lb, at Walmart for 97 cents/lb and at Food Basics for 98 cents/lb.

Happy shopping!
