We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Whole Foods stores, while the current one continues at Vitamin Cottage through May 31st. Here's what's looking good to me now.
In Sprouts' new sale through May 7th, 30-40 count Peruvian sea scallops (good for chowders) are back at $6.99 a pound, boneless skinless chicken breasts or tenders are okay at $2.99 a pound (at least it doesn't specify value pack, so presumably smaller quantities are available at this price), three types of chicken sausage are $2.99 a pound, stuffed chicken breasts are $3.99 a pound (although the sale price used to be $1 lower), fresh ground chicken, pork or chicken breast are all good at $2.99 a pound, and fresh farmed salmon fillets are $9.99 a pound.
In organic produce at Sprouts, I'm pleased to see on-the-vine cluster tomatoes for $1.98 a pound, Italian squash (think zucchini) at $1.48 a pound, D'Anjou or Packham pears both $1.48 a pound, cantaloupes or honeydew melons both 88 cents a pound, and one pound clamshells of strawberries just $2.98 each. I rarely buy conventional produce, but corn fiend that I am, I'm taking note of sweet white corn at five for $1 (have to get my fix, since we won't see local corn from Munson's until July). Also, Sprouts typically does a fire sale on conventional avocados during the week including Cinco de Mayo, so avocado fans will be disappointed to find no conventional avocados being advertised this week (organic ones are 98 cents each). Elsewhere in the store, Cinco de Mayo does crop up with selected Fiesta Favorites 25% off (the picture includes items like Hatch enchilada sauce and Green Mountain Gringo salsa), and my favorite Ezekiel 4:9 bread is very good at $3.49 a loaf.
In Whole Foods' new sale through May 13th, fresh Icelandic cod fillets (yup, fresh) look very tempting at $12.99 a pound, baby back pork ribs are $3 off at $5.99 a pound, and top round steaks are $3.50 off at $4.49 a pound, but their very good lobster tails have been lower than the current sale price of $7.50 each, although that's still in the running. Conventional Hass avocados are $1.50 each, and my guess is they're considerably larger than the 98 cent organic ones at Sprouts (avocados are one of the few produce items I'll buy in conventional). Also "rough cut," whatever that is, artichokes are $2.50 each, and again, Whole Foods' artichokes tend to be quite large. I'm also liking Stonyfield Farm Greek yogurts at $1.25 each, although last week's unadvertised sale on Brown Cow Greeks was even better, Cascadian Farm cereals $3 a box, Uniekaas Parrano $4 off at $12.99 a pound, and for a celebration, Whole Foods' own excellent large fresh fruit tarts are $6 off at $19.99 each.
