We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Whole Foods stores, while the current one continues at Vitamin Cottage through July 12th. Here's what's looking good to me now.
In Sprouts' new sale through July 9th, the stunner to me is fresh wild Alaskan sockeye salmon fillets for just $9.99 a pound ($12.99 at both Safeway and King Soopers, and I think it was $19.99 yesterday at Whole Foods). Some of that will definitely have to go on the grill this 4th of July weekend. Value packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts are $2.49 a pound, bone-in ribeye steaks are $8.99 a pound, whole or cut up chickens are $1.59 a pound, and bone-in country style pork ribs aren't the best sale price at $2.99 a pound, but they sure are good in a smoker or even just on a grill. Full 22 ounce racks of baby back ribs are $12.99 each, which must be in addition to the freshly cooked ones previously reported that will be available Friday and Saturday. On the fish side, that salmon really is the headline. They also have flash-frozen swordfish or Alaskan cod fillets for $7.99 a pound, but only once did I find the swordfish to be domestic. There's also a special three-day Sausage Spectacular, with all varieties $2.99 a pound.
In organic produce, green curly kale is just 98 cents a bunch (I might just have to try to replicate Oak at Fourteenth's kale and apple salad), on-the-vine cluster tomatoes are $1.98 a pound, white peaches are also $1.98 a pound, five pound bags of carrots are $2.98 each, red or green grapes are $2.98 a pound, and cantaloupes are 88 cents a pound. Elsewhere in the store, my favorite Blue Diamond Nut Thins are great at $2 a box (that's some of the regular type, not the artisan), a bunch of holiday snacks are $2 a bag (I see some quinoa chips and Garden of Eatin' chips in the picture), Santa Cruz organic lemonades are four for $5 (it also says "buy 4 get 1 free"), Greek Gods Greek yogurts are $1 each, and Green Mountain Gringo salsas are $3 a jar.
In Whole Foods' new sale through July 15th, I'm liking fresh swordfish steaks for $17.99 a pound, although that's only $2 off the usual. (Yup, I'd pay $10 more per pound to get a fresh domestic or Canadian swordfish rather than a frozen one from Singapore.) Lobster tails are $7.99 each, and they are always either from Maine or Canada (Sprouts also has some lobster tails for $6.99 this week). Whole American red snapper is $12.99 a pound, but I'm afraid I don't really know how to deal with a whole fish. Organic grape tomatoes are $2.50 a container and organic raspberries are $2.99 a container. Honest Tea's organic lemonade and limeades are $1.50 for 32 ounces, and the flavors are Whole Foods exclusives, and Frontera's great salsas are $3 each. For your holiday dessert, there's peach raspberry lattice pie for $9.99 each, $5 off.
