What the Food Basics flyer is good for
Metro’s discount banner in Ontario. Participating stores price match, and Moi Rewards points work here as well as at Metro.
If there is a No Frills near your Food Basics, compare the two on the items you buy each week. Deal Dish shows both prices, cheapest first.
Discount banner: where the savings are
A discount flyer puts its biggest cuts on the front page to bring you into the store. The rest of the store is where the banner earns its margin, so a cart filled on impulse can wipe out what the front page saved.
Buy the front-page items and plan the week around them. Deal Dish suggests recipes priced with what is on sale at your store, and adding a recipe puts what you need on your list.
A sample of the Food Basics stores in the app
Deal Dish prices each store separately, because the same banner can run different features in different markets. These are real Food Basics locations you can pick as your store.

Food Basics flyer questions
When does the new Food Basics flyer come out?

How many Food Basics stores does Deal Dish cover?
160 Food Basics locations in Ontario. You pick your stores in the app, and every deal, recipe cost and list price is that store's price.
Is Deal Dish free for Food Basics shoppers?

Does Deal Dish show the actual Food Basics flyer?
