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 addition to its usual weekly sale, Sprouts is doing a Big Brand sale lasting two weeks, through the 28th, with lots of brands at 20 to 50% off regular retail. Items catching my eye include all R.W. Knudsen juices 35% off, some Lundberg rice cakes and chips 30% off, all Barbara's products 35% off, some Back to Nature cookies and crackers 25% off, all Coleman pork and poultry products 20% off, Santa Cruz lemonade half off, some Seventh Generation household items 30% off, and some Arrowhead waters half off, including the 24 packs that are good to have around in summer so long as your guests are faithful in their recycling. Plus there are tons of other options.
In the regular sale at Sprouts through May 21st, I'm enthused about stew beef at $3.99 a pound, a price we haven't seen in some time, and short ribs also that same price. All chicken sausage is on sale, but still at $3.49 a pound, 50 cents higher than previously, while the $3.99 sale price on boneless skinless chicken breasts doesn't strike me as a sale price at all for Sprouts, where we sometimes see it as low as $1.99. Previously frozen sockeye salmon fillets are $8.99 a pound, Alaskan cod fillets are $7.99 a pound, and 30/40 count Peruvian sea scallops are $8.99 a pound, all previously frozen.
In organic produce at Sprouts, I'm loving roma tomatoes at 98 cents a pound, and also liking cucumbers 98 cents each, while here comes the organic fruit, with California yellow peaches $2.98 a pound, cantaloupes just 50 cents a pound, red or green grapes $2.50 a pound, and California blueberries $2.98 for a six ounce container. As for elsewhere in the store, look to that Big Brand sale.
In Whole Foods' new sale through May 27th (taking us through Memorial Day), I'm liking boneless chuck steaks nearly half off at $3.99 a pound (a real competitor to Sprouts' stew beef price if you're willing to chop it up), and St. Louis style spareribs $3.99 a pound. Their fine air-chilled chicken breasts are only $1 off at $5.99 a pound, but you have to buy chicken this week, I'd consider going with this one with a pedigree since the Sprouts $3.99 price is rather high for them. Organic Vidalia onions are notable at 99 cents a pound, as are organic Packham pears at $1.69 a pound. If you're cheating on your barbeque, the deli has Market Made bbq chicken for $6.99 a pound and Mediterranean pasta salad for $7.99 a pound, both $2 off. Finally, to protect yourself during your holiday fun in the sun, Kiss My Face suncare is half off.
