This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)

Happy first day of spring, and it should be a lovely one!

We have a new sale starting today at our local Sprouts stores, while current sales continue at Whole Foods through April 2nd and Vitamin Cottage through April 6th (click for prior reports).  Here's what's looking good to me in the new sales.

Sprouts through March 27th will host a Frozen Frenzy, with everything frozen you can fit in their sale bag at 20% off.  In meat, their Presidential-cut bone-in rib roast or steaks are both $5.99 a pound, value packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts are $1.99 a pound, center-cut pork loin chops (or roast) are $2.99 a pound, three types of chicken sausage are $2.99 a pound, and whole or cut-up chickens are $1.59 a pound, and in fish, previously frozen sockeye salmon has crept up to $10.99 a pound.  They also have a very low price on spiral sliced hams, but I have my eye on Vitamin Cottage or Whole Foods for my Easter ham.

In organic produce at Sprouts, one pound bags of baby carrots remain good at $1.50, six ounce packages of baby broccoli (basically broccoli rabe) are $2.50 each (about the only thing I buy in their annoying prepackaged condition in that department), bulk spring salad or spinach remain fantastic at $3.99 a pound, on-the-vine tomatoes are great at $1.99 a pound, and there are good organic apple specials as well.

Elsewhere in the store, I'm also liking some seven ounce packages of Applegate natural (evidently not the organic) sliced meats at $4.99 each, and Mozzarella Fresca half pound balls of fresh mozzarella for $3.99 each.
