This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)

We have a new sale starting today at our Boulder Sprouts stores, while the current one continues at Whole Foods through May 13th, and at Vitamin Cottage through May 31st.

Some sale weeks appeal to me more than others, and it's looking like this week there's not a lot new to get me enthused. At Sprouts through May 14th, grass-fed organic ground beef looks good at $4.99 a pound, although we don't eat much burger in this house, and whole, split or cut-up chickens are $1.59 a pound. Chicken tenders and ground chicken breast are $3.99 a pound, when I'd prefer to see that sale price at least $1 less, and previously frozen Alaskan sockeye salmon fillets are now $12.99 a pound.

Organic produce looks better at Sprouts, with green curly kale just 98 cents a bunch, cucumbers 50 cents each, four pound bags of Valencia oranges or grapefruits $2.98 each, and one pound clamshells of strawberries or small containers of blueberries or blackberries all $3.98 each, although this past week through today was much better on the strawberries at $1 less, $2.98 each. Conventional produce seems to be Sprouts' strong suit this week, and on things I'd only buy in organic, conventional on-the-vine tomatoes at just 48 cents a pound as an example. Elsewhere in the store, I'm enthused by Stonyfield organic Greek yogurts at $1.25 each, although they're on sale at Whole Foods for that same price, and Eat Well hummus, well liked in this house, at $3 for a big 10 ounce container.
