More Good Deals At Lucky's Market

So I've confirmed that Lucky's Market, at least for the time being, is doing two separate sets of sales for its two stores, the one in north Boulder that I've always loved but could rarely get to, and the new one that just opened in Longmont, and is in a frequent travel path for me.  There are some similarities between the sales, but the Longmont store is clearly still in grand opening mode, sometimes offering better deals than the Boulder store on items listed in common.  Not getting to the north Boulder store, I'm concentrating on the Longmont one for this.

In the Longmont Lucky's new sale that runs through September 4th, a very hot item is Hass avocados (those would be conventional, but you peel them anyway), for a fabulous 25 cents each.  (Avocado aficionado Ms. A., may I shuttle some to you?)  By contrast, the Boulder Lucky's has organic ones instead on sale this week at 50 cents each, also very good, particularly for organic.  Quickly running through more Longmont specials, two Teton Waters Ranch beef specials look very good for Labor Day grilling:  grass-fed sirloin steak for $4.99 a pound and grass-fed New York strip at $5.99 a pound (bones not specified, but with Lucky's "never ever" high standards, those are good prices whether boneless or bone-in, and bone-in supposedly adds flavor).  Another grilling favorite, bone-in chicken breast, is $1.79 a pound, grass-fed super lean (95% - maybe even too lean) burger is $3.99 a pound, and organic pork spare ribs are stunning at $2.99 a pound.  I don't really know anything yet about their seafood, so I want to check out country of origin of the previously frozen four ounce lobster tails for $5.99, and since the cod and red trout fillets at $7.99 don't say anything about fresh/frozen, does that mean they're fresh?

The Longmont Lucky's not surprisingly also has some great specials in organic produce, including red, green and lacinato kale (all locally grown) for 99 cents a bunch, red or green leaf lettuce 99 cents a head, russet, red or yellow potatoes all 99 cents a pound, jewel or garnet yams also 99 cents a pound, and red, green and black seedless grapes all $1.50 a pound.  Satsuma fans will like that their brief season is arriving, with organic ones at $2 a pound.

Elsewhere in the Longmont Lucky's, I'm definitely liking Chobani Greek yogurts for $1 each, Evol burritos (a local company and also very, very good) actually BOGO, and Norseland Jarlsberg cheese for $6.99 a pound.  The Jarlsberg is another example of the differences in the sales between Lucky's Longmont and Boulder stores, as in Boulder, the sale for it this week is $8.99 a pound.
