Hosting a perfect summer day with the help of Real Canadian Superstore

Canadians only have a short window of time to make the most of long days, warm weather, and summer fun whether that’s by hitting the beach, enjoying an evening bonfire, or spending time with friends. For me, I especially love hosting friends over a meal. Throwing together a delicious and cute outdoor barbecue requires careful consideration of both quality and affordability, and with Real Canadian Superstore, neither one needs to be sacrificed. With over 100 new summer products, Superstore is the ultimate destination for Canadians to kick off warmer days and cover all of their entertaining needs. From kitchenware and accessories to grill-worthy essentials, I had everything I needed for a fantastic summer barbecue with my partner, friends, and friends’ children, all under one roof. FIRE UP THE GRILL BBQ season at Superstore goes beyond the simple question of “burger or hot dog?” There are so many grill-ready options to choose from, like PC Lean Beef Burgers, PC Thick & Juicy Turkey Burgers, or PC Classic Street Cart Sausages. I opted for PC Cheddar Cheese Jalapeno Beef Burgers and PC Plant-Based The Black Bean Veggie Burgers. My partner gave the Veggie Burgers a vegetarian stamp of approval, while my friends and I couldn’t get enough of the Cheddar Jalapeno Beef Burgers. What’s summer without a little kick, after all? Meanwhile, the kiddos filled up on plain burger buns, because I made the rookie mistake of leaving them within arm’s reach of two toddlers. Lesson learned. Pro tip: While you can’t go wrong with classic PC Tomato Ketchup, the PC Roasted Red Pepper Squeeze and Drizzle Spread is an easy way to take your burgers to the next level. It was an all-around hit at this barbecue. SIDES AND SWEETS I figured I oughta sneak some vegetables into our meal, and the PC Big Smash Chopped Salad Kit was an easy and tasty way to do just that. It’s a salad that tastes like a burger, complete with crispy fried pickles and onions, brioche-style croutons, and tangy Big Smash dressing. It came together in seconds and was way easier (and more affordable) than buying individual ingredients to make a salad from scratch. And for dessert, we had the ultimate frozen treats: PC Fruit Bars and PC Loads Of Nanaimo Bar ice cream! These were a big hit with both the grown-ups and kids. Whether you crave vibrant iced fruit flavours like orange, mango, and raspberry, or prefer a cold, creamy chocolate treat, Superstore has something for everyone’s summer sweet tooth. EXTRA, EXTRA Superstore has summer accessories that make cooking and clean-up a breeze. The Everyday Essentials Water Resistant Tablecloth was a lifesaver at the kids’ table, and the Life at Home Large Oval Serving Platter and Life at Home Cabbage Serving Bowl are super cute and contributed to the overall summery aesthetic. I also got my hands on a PC Stackset Pro Grilling Prep Tray, which I’m going to use when my parents are in town later this summer. Designed to help prepare and marinade delicious, grill-ready food, the versatile tray set also includes an integrated cutting board that fits snugly into the lid, making ingredient prep and storage a breeze. Move over, Dad — there’s a new grillmaster in town. MAKE YOUR OWN SUMMER MEMORIES From fresh produce, multicultural ingredients, frozen treats and kitchen accessories, to trendy summer apparel from Joe Fresh and backyard and outdoor activity items, Superstore are proudly Canadian brands where Canadians can find everything they need for the summer season at a great price. However you celebrate, Superstore has everything you need to level up your summer plans while sticking to a budget. Visit your local Superstore to check out all the new and exciting summer products.
