We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Sunflower, while current sales continue at Alfalfa's, Vitamin Cottage (ending the 24th there, that's this Saturday), and Whole Foods. Here's what appeals to me in the new deals.
Organic veggie/fruit wars: both Sprouts and Sunflower are listing so many sales on organic fruits and vegetables in their new flyers that run through September 28th, I can't even list them all. See below for the ones I think are particularly good.
Sprouts has a number of sales of interest running through the 28th. I'm especially curious about the fresh, wild caught swordfish they have for $9.99 a pound. They also have fresh, wild caught Columbia River king salmon for the same price (and fresh wild coho is $7.99 a pound with card at King Soopers), so it's possible this is a great week for fish (any fish reviewers out there - comments most welcome!). Raw ez-peel 41/50 count shrimp would be a fine addition to a dish at $4.99 a pound, while in beef, t-bone steaks look great at $5.99 a pound. For inexpensive white meat chicken, tenders are just $1.99 a pound ($2.99 a pound for boneless skinless breasts in family packs at Sunflower). Bone-in country style ribs make a decadent early fall bbq at $1.99 a pound, and ground pork is $2.99 a pound. Highlights of all the organic produce on sale include gala apples for $1.29 a pound, romaine, green, or red leaf lettuce at $1.69 a head (I wonder how big), red plums 99 cents a pound, broccoli $1.49 a pound (a good price, but it's a striking 99 cents a pound at Sunflower), bananas 69 cents a pound (same at Sunflower), green onions 79 cents a bunch, and assorted fresh herbs for $1.69 each.
At Sunflower through the 28th, in addition to lots of organic veggies, the highlight to me is conventional Hass avocados at two for $1. It's nice to see avocado prices start to come down from the heights they've been at (although consider also the large avocados that King Soopers has this week for $1 each with card. I've heard their large size can be quite impressive.) In an "all natural grind extravaganza," various kinds of ground beef, turkey, and chicken are all 40% off. Beef stew meat is $3.99 a pound, and in their new line of pork (which promises no antibiotics, in addition to the usual suspects), boneless loin chops also look good at $3.99 a pound. In organic produce, a whole lot of choices are being offered at 99 cents a pound, including broccoli or cauliflower (an excellent price), and an array of winter squash, including delicata and Kabocha (with Whole Foods effectively matching on the butternut and acorn that are included). Organic baby carrots are good at $1.50 a one pound bag, garnet or jewel yams are $1.50 a pound, and bananas are 69 cents a pound (matching Sprouts). Finally, four-packs of ZenSoy organic soy puddings look good at $2.50, for the kid in all of us.
