This Week's Hot Deals (IMHO)

We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Sunflower, while current sales continue at Alfalfa's, Vitamin Cottage, and Whole Foods (click those links for prior reports). Here's what looks best to me in the new sales.

In Sprouts' new sale through the 16th, chicken breast tenders look good at $1.99 a pound, boneless pork loin chops are $2.99 a pound, and they're doing a "wild caught seafood spectacular," with previously frozen swordfish, sockeye salmon, ahi tuna, Alaskan cod, and 16/20 count raw shrimp all $8.99 a pound. All their bulk cheese looks great at 30% off across the board. In organic produce, gala apples, Italian squash (think zucchini), and D'Anjou pears are all just 99 cents a pound, garnet yams are $1.29 a pound, broccoli continues at $1.49 a pound (basically the same at Sunflower), as do five pound bags of russet potatoes for $3.99 (pretty good, but remember a five pound bag is just $1.69 at Vitamin Cottage), and three pound bags of yellow onions for $2.49 each. You can find Amy's burritos for $1.50 each, and select eight ounce packages of Organic Valley cheese are 25% off. Finally, don't forget, as I mentioned yesterday, for today only, the 9th, you can buy a $100 gift card for $89.99.

At Sunflower through the 16th, I'm enthused to see Hass avocados, both conventional and organic, at 50 cents each. Grass fed 93% lean (that's pretty lean) ground beef looks good at $3.99 a pound, as does ground pork for $2.99 a pound. Organic produce looks good as usual, with acorn, butternut, spaghetti squash and pie pumpkins all 99 cents a pound, sweet onions $1.99 for a two pound bag, bunched leeks $1.99 a pound (that one has me thinking...), russet or red potatoes 99 cents a pound, cauliflower or broccoli $1.50 a pound, and five pound bags of carrots at $3.99 each. I'm also enthused to see select Voskos Greek yogurts at $1 each, and Seapoint Farms veggie blend edamame at $2 a 16 ounce bag (keep them stocked in the freezer for a quick stir-fry).
