Happy May Day, and only in Boulder would it bring weather like this. We have new sales starting at our local Sprouts and Whole Foods stores, while the current one continues at Vitamin Cottage through June 1st (click for prior report). Here's what catching my eye in the new sales.
I can see avocado fans rejoicing over their choices between today's previously reported one-day sale for $1 at Whole Foods (where they tend to be on the large side) and Sprouts' new sale of three for $1 (where they tend smaller) all the way through May 8th. Crank up the guacamole for Cinco de Mayo. In other news at Sprouts through the 8th, value packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts are $1.99 a pound, baby back ribs are $2.99 a pound, boneless pork shoulder roasts or country style ribs are as low as they go at $1.99 a pound, their very good stuffed chicken breasts are $3.99 a pound, ground pork is $2.49 a pound, and boneless ribeyes are $10.99 a pound. Rosie's organic whole chickens are on sale for $2.99 a pound, which shows you how good the sale that ends today on Rosie's organic grill packs, which are already cut up and nicely trimmed, is at $2.79 a pound. In fish, fresh Atlantic (farmed) salmon is $7.99 a pound, and previously frozen wild Alaskan cod fillets are great at $4.99 a pound. With fresh halibut now coming in, six ounce portions are $6.99 each, which works out to $18.64 a pound for the math-challenged (maybe the fish guy could supply it not already portioned out, but if not, it's $18.99 a pound with card at King Soopers).
In organic produce at Sprouts, Cameo apples are just 99 cents a pound, on-the-vine tomatoes remain great at $1.99 a pound, green or red leaf or romaine lettuce are all $1.29 a head, garnet yams are $1.29 a pound, five pound bags of russet potatoes remain $2.99 each, and bulk spring mix and spinach mercifully remain $3.99 a pound (nearly half what you'll find elsewhere). Elsewhere in the store, I'm liking Fage Greek yogurts at $1 each, Amy's burritos $1.50 each, and Mozzarella Fresca fresh eight ounce mozzarella balls at $3.99 each, plus there are a whole lot of "Fiesta Favorites" at 25% off in time for Cinco de Mayo.
At Whole Foods through May 14th, large artichokes, which tend to be quite handsome there, are three for $5, which works out to $1.666666... each, and I'm increasingly noticing a need to bring out the calculator to decipher Whole Foods' pricing. Organic kale also looks good at that $1.666666 three for $5 price, and organic mini seedless watermelons are spectacular at $2.50 each. The Columbia River whole sockeye salmon they have for $7.99 a pound isn't described beyond that in the ad - maybe the remainder of frozen from last year's we await this year's fresh wild season? I always like their salmon burgers, and this time it's raspberry chipotle ones for $7.99 a pound, and the very excellent lobster tail special is back at $6 each (when I've bought them, they've always been from Maine). Finally, you can get a dozen Whole Trade roses for mom (Mother's Day coming up!) for only $10, something to make you, your mom, and the growers all feel good.
Stay safe out there in the snow.
