This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)

Good morning, Boulder, waking up to a bit of snow, at least at my house.  We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Whole Foods, while the current one continues through Saturday at Vitamin Cottage.  Here's what's appealing to me now.

At Sprouts through November 6th, there's a Ground Meat Super Sale, with in-store ground meats, including chicken, chicken breast, pork, lamb, turkey breast, and grass-fed organic beef all 40% off their regular price.  Chicken tenders, breast or thighs are $2.99 a pound, although you can catch the breasts still for $1.99 today on double ad Wednesday, the last day of last week's sale.  Rosie organic fresh whole chickens are $2.99 a pound, three types of chicken sausage are $2.99 a pound, boneless pork loin chops are $2.99 a pound, and fresh (farmed) Atlantic salmon fillets are $8.99 a pound.

In organic produce at Sprouts, $1.49 is the theme, with organic Italian squash (think zucchini), Bosc or Bartlett pears, and gala apples all $1.49 a pound, and baby carrots $1.49 a one pound bag.  Organic cucumbers are 98 cents each, and for those intrepid enough to tackle a pomegranate, four-packs of them are $4.99.  Elsewhere in the store, I'm liking half gallons of Horizon organic milk at $3 each (although Whole Foods' everyday price on its own organic brand is even lower, but only at the Pearl Street store), half pounds of Kerrygold Irish butter $2.50 each, and I can't wait to see where the price lands on my favorite Imagine organic broth, since it's 30% off regular retail (although I'm also hoping for a good sale on it when Vitamin Cottage rolls out its next sale soon).

At Whole Foods' new sale through November 12th, I'm very much liking their fine air-chilled whole chickens for $1.69 a pound (close to half off) and Stonyfield Farm Greek yogurts at $1 each.  Country Natural Beef London broil is $4.99 a pound, $3 off.  Organic Fuji apples are $1.99 a pound (as are Bartlett pears, but they're 50 cents cheaper at Sprouts), and organic kale is $2 a bunch.  If you're starting to think about holiday baking, walnut halves and pieces are $6.99 a pound in bulk ($2 off), and pecan halves are $8.99 a pound, $4 off.

Once again, I can't resist mentioning a few items in the new sale at Lucky's Market's new store in Longmont through the 6th, and unfortunately don't have time to dig into their Boulder store's specials to compare.  In Longmont, check out organic Hass avocados for 49 cents each, and I can't believe this isn't a typo, one pound bags of organic baby carrots also 49 cents each ($1 less than Sprouts' already good sale price).  Boneless pork loin chops (with Lucky's "never ever" meat standards) are $2.99 a pound, and Alaskan wild true cod (I'd think probably previously frozen) and fresh steelhead fillets are both $7.99 a pound.
