Happy 2014! What better way to ring in the new year than with a new set of sales at our Boulder natural food stores? (I've got to get a life.) We have new sales starting today at our local Sprouts and Whole Foods stores. Vitamin Cottage has been on a sale hiatus, but when I was there a few days ago, they said there would probably be a new one right after the new year. Here's what's looking good to me now.
In Sprouts' new sale through the 8th, I'm liking pork loin chops or boneless skinless chicken breasts (any size package for a change) at $2.99 a pound, and stuffed chicken breasts are also $2.99 a pound. Whole, split or cut up chickens are $1.49 a pound, and ground chicken breast or turkey breast are both $3.99 a pound. Boneless rib eye steaks are $9.99 a pound. In fish, previously frozen Alaskan coho salmon fillets are $7.99 a pound, and flash frozen center-cut swordfish steaks are very low at $5.99 a pound, but only once did I find them from the USA or Canada (where I like them from) when looking at Sprouts. (Whole Foods has wild caught Canadian swordfish steaks in the frozen fish section for a pretty reasonable everyday price of $10.99 a pound, at least at the Pearl Street store.)
In organic produce at Sprouts, broccoli is great at 99 cents a pound, and we have a theme of $1.49 going, with one pound bags of baby carrots $1.49 each, celery or green curly kale $1.49 a bunch, and cameo apples or Bosc pears both $1.49 a pound. Organic bulk spring salad mix or spinach are great at $3.99 a pound (nearly double that elsewhere), and four pound bags of Valencia oranges are just $2.50 each. Elsewhere in the store, local Noosa yoghurts are quite low at $1.79 for eight ounces, and fans of Nordic Naturals supplements may be interested in a line drive savings of 25% off their regular retail prices.
In Whole Foods' new sale through January 14th, I'm debating whether I'm liking wild caught halibut fillets for $19.99 a pound. Fresh or previously frozen isn't specified. If it's fresh, I just might bite at that price for a really fine piece of fish (it's $5 off Whole Foods' usual price). Their own salmon burgers are always a sure bet, and the garden fresh variety is on sale for $7.99 a pound. Organic collard greens (appropriate for the new year) are $2.50 a bunch, reminding me of a favorite vegetarian casserole that will probably go on this week's menu, and organic red grape tomatoes are okay at $2.99 a 10 ounce container. In another item for the new year, their very good Market Made superfood salad is $6.99 a pound, $3 off (it's loaded with lots of good stuff like kale, and has an acai dressing if I remember correctly). Also, Rumiano part-skim (also the whole milk) mozzarella is $4.99 a pound, making me think pizza. Fans of Mychelle products will probably appreciate their facial care line all at 25% off.
