This Week's Hot New Deals (IMHO)

We have new specials starting today at our Boulder Sprouts, Sunflower, and Whole Foods, along with those that are continuing at Alfalfa's and Vitamin Cottage. Here's my take on what's appealing of the new deals.

Corn wars (presumably conventional and certainly not yet local): 6 for $1 at both Sprouts and Sunflower through 5/18, 3 for $1 at Whole Foods through 5/31.

Pork rib wars: bone-in country style $1.99 a pound at Sprouts, baby back $2.99 a pound at Sunflower (both through 5/18), St. Louis style spareribs $3.99 a pound at Whole Foods through 5/31.

Fresh mozzarella wars: 8 ounce BelGioioso $2.99 at Sprouts, Mozzarella Fresca $3.99 at Sunflower, both through 5/18, but for today only at Whole Foods, you can get 8 ounce Mozzarella Fresca for $2.99.

In Sprouts new deals through 5/18, in addition to the above, I particularly like their "Gluten Free Jubilee," with 25% off over 2,000 gluten-free items, running all the way through 5/25. Flash frozen Alaskan sockeye salmon is a good price at $6.97 a pound, but I'm waiting for the start of the fresh season in just a few more weeks. Several types of beef roasts are 30% off, beef stew meat or short ribs are $3.99 a pound, 51/60 count (pretty small) cooked shrimp are $5.99 a pound, wild caught Alaskan cod is $7.99 a pound, and colossal sea scallops are $10.99 a pound. Lots of good deals in organic produce, where cucumbers are just 69 cents a pound, gala apples are 99 cents a pound, Italian squash (think zucchini) and broccoli are both $1.29 a pound, one pound bags of baby carrots are $1.50 each, vine-ripe tomatoes are $1.99 a pound, and three pound bags of yellow onions are $1.99. Finally, my favorite big 32 ounce containers of Straus European-style organic yogurts are just $3 each (try it instead of sour cream).

Sales looking good at Sunflower through 5/18 include boneless skinless chicken breast for $1.99 a pound in the family pack, all chicken sausage $2.99 a pound, and ground turkey for $2.99 a pound. In organic produce, romaine lettuce looks great at 99 cents a head, gala apples or yellow onions are 99 cents a pound, fresh cucmbers are 99 cents each, and 8 ounces of strawberries are $2. Select Amy's lasagnas are up to half off at $2.50 each, yummy Evol burritos are $2 for select varieties, and Kozy Shack puddings look great at $1.99 for the four pack.

At Whole Foods through 5/31, I'm liking London broil nearly half price at $3.99 a pound, organic grape tomatoes at $2.50 a pint, organic mini peppers at $2.50 for 16 ounces, and organic spinach at just $1.50 a bunch. Select Santa Cruz lemonades are just $1.25 each, better than half off, and if you need hamburger buns, three types are on sale. In soaps, EO liquid hand soaps are $4.99 each, $4 off (but you can catch them for $3.99 for today only), and Greenshield organic liquid laundry detergent can be found for $7.99, $5 off.

For the continuing sales, here are my favorites at Alfalfa's and Vitamin Cottage.
