This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)

We have a new sale starting today at our Boulder Sprouts (Longmont, too), while the current sales continue at Whole Foods (through April 30th), and Vitamin Cottage (through June 1st), click for prior reports.

For its part, Sprouts has lots of appealing (at least to me) news in its sale that runs through May 1st.  First, the Vitamin & Body Care Extravaganza returns, with 25% off all supplements and body care, a great chance to stock up on those favorites you know never otherwise go on sale.  In fish, I'm happy to see really big 16/20 count wild raw shrimp from the USA at $6.99 a pound.  They're previously frozen, but only those lucky folks in Georgia and its environs are probably eating fresh ones right now.  In meat, chicken breast tenders are $1.99 a pound, bone-in New York steaks are $5.99 a pound (and with temps hitting 70 this weekend, that grill will get fired up), boneless center-cut pork loin chops are $2.99 a pound, Rosie's organic chicken grill packs (split breasts and drumsticks) are $2.79 a pound (maybe back out to the grill, and I'll hardly have to cook!), organic sirloin tip roasts or steak are $5.99 a pound, and fresh ground chicken or chicken breast are both $2.99 a pound.

In organic produce, Sprouts has Arizona on-the-vine tomatoes for $2.49 a pound, one pound bags of baby carrots back down to $1.50, green or red leaf lettuce are both $1.29 a head, broccoli not the lowest we've seen at $1.99 a pound, russet potatoes remaining great at $2.99 for a five pound bag, bulk spring mix or spinach still wonderfully low at $3.99 a pound, cantaloupe and honeydew melons both 99 cents a pound, and three pound bags of Fuji or Cameo apples just $2.99 each.  I don't usually eat much conventional produce, but I'm such a corn freak that the new crop of California white corn might tempt me at three for $1, while we wait several months for our lovely local corn season.

Elsewhere in the store, Sprouts has Chobani Greek yogurts at $1 each, Clif bars also $1 (although they've been known to go lower), select Earth Balance buttery spreads (no cholesterol!) very good at $2.99 each, and Cedar's hommus just $2.50 each.
