This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)

Good beautiful spring morning, Boulder. Temps should reach the upper 70s today, and it's light early enough in the morning that the birds start chirping before 6, love it. Meanwhile, we have a new sale starting today at our Boulder Sprouts stores, while the current one continues at Whole Foods through April 15th. There also should be something happening at Vitamin Cottage that I need to check out, as their last sale just ended. Here's what's looking good to me now.

Sprouts will do another 72 hour sale this Friday through Sunday, but the items they're advertising for it aren't ones I'm particularly familiar with. The 3.2 pound box of 'Lil Cuties mandarins does look good at $3 each, and they have a very good price of $1.50 a bottle for some R.W. Knudsen juice blends, but I'm more of a veggie than a fruit drinker.  In Sprouts' regular sale through the 16th, value packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts are $2.49 a pound, stuffed chicken breasts are $2.99 a pound, scallopini or stir fry chicken breasts are both $2.99 a pound, bone-in ribeye steaks are $8.99 a pound, and bone-in country style pork ribs are $2.99 a pound. In fish, fresh farmed Atlantic salmon fillets are low at $6.99 a pound. Back to meat, they have a spiral sliced ham for $1.99 a pound, but such a low price usually means read the ingredients list.

In organic produce at Sprouts, red bell peppers are a standout at $1.25 each, broccoli is $1.48 a pound, Cameo or red Delicious apples are also $1.48 a pound, four pound bags of Valencia oranges or grapefruits are just $2.50 each, and one pound clamshells of strawberries or 4.4 ounces of blueberries are both $3.98 each. Elsewhere in the store, Annie Chun's organic potstickers are $2.50 for 7.6 ounces, and Nature's Path flax plus cereals are low at $3 a box.
