This Week's Hot New Deals (IMHO)

We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts, Sunflower, and Whole Foods, while the new one that I have yet to check out at Vitamin Cottage continues (hey, nobody pays me to do this).  Here's a brief rundown on what's particularly appealing to me.

With Father's Day coming up this weekend, it's clear we're supposed to eat ribeyes.  See the post just below this for today's one-day sale at Whole Foods for both bone-in and boneless ribeyes.  Meanwhile, all the way through the 20th, boneless ribeyes are $9.99 a pound at Sprouts, while bone-in ones are $6.99 a pound and boneless $8.99 a pound at Sunflower.  We don't eat much red meat, but okay, twist my arm to put a ribeye on the grill this weekend.

At Sprouts through June 20th, my eye is on fresh Copper River sockeye salmon fillets for $9.99 a pound.  I'm also liking all chicken sausage (pork too) for $2.99 a pound (same for chicken at Sunflower), ground pork also $2.99 a pound, and very lean ground turkey breast or tenders for $3.99 a pound.  In organic produce, blueberries are notable at $1.99 for six ounces, broccoli is $1.49 a pound (but just 99 cents at Sunflower), grape tomatoes are $2.50 a pint, red potatoes are $3.99 for a five pound bag, and Cameo apples are just 99 cents a pound.  They're also doing a 72 hour sale for Friday through Sunday, the 15th through 17th, that includes roasted almonds for $2.99 a pound and pineapples for $1.50 each, but the $6.99 a pound price for huge 16/20 count raw shrimp is one you can get all week at Sunflower.

At Sunflower through the 20th, I'm liking the just-mentioned huge shrimp for $6.99 a pound, pork stew meat for $2.99 a pound, and the ribeye deals also mentioned above.  In organic produce, broccoli is just 99 cents a pound, chard is $1.50 a bunch, a new crop of hard shell squash (we're back to butternut?) appears at $1.50 a pound, and red or green seedless grapes, or yellow peaches and nectarines are all $2.49 a pound (same price for the grapes at Sprouts).  My favorite Cascade Fresh yogurts are just 69 cents each, and a honking one pound ball of Messana mozzarella (part skim, my preference) is $4.99.

At Whole Foods through the 26th, their very fine wild Alaskan cod is $9.99 a pound (fresh/frozen not specified), and teriyaki salmon burgers are $7.99 a pound.  Organic red seedless grapes are $2.49 a pound (same at Sprouts and Sunflower, but also including green at both), Annie's Naturals organic salad dressings are $3 each, my favorite Bakehouse Seeduction breads are also $3 a loaf, and half pound packages of Norseland Jarlsberg slices are BOGO.
