We have a new sale starting today at our Boulder Sprouts stores, while the current one continues at Whole Foods through the 29th and at Vitamin Cottage through August 9th. Here's what's looking good to me now.
At Sprouts through July 30th, the big news to me is the return of the Vitamin & Body Care Extravaganza, with everything in the department 25% off. This is a great time to stock up on your favorites that you know don't otherwise generally go on sale. I'd been hoping this was coming, as I nearly paid full price for Avalon Organics cleansing milk a couple of days ago, but diluted mine with a bit of water to stretch it out instead just in case this would be the week of the sale. Good karma.
In meat and fish at Sprouts, the good news is that fresh wild Alaskan coho salmon fillets are $9.99 a pound, although I slightly prefer sockeye to coho, previously frozen wild Alaskan cod fillets are $7.99 a pound, all chicken sausages are $3.99 a pound ($1 higher than the sale price used to be), stuffed chicken breasts are also $3.99 a pound, value packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts are a bit meh at $2.99 a pound, ditto stew beef at $4.99 a pound, but there's also a grass-fed organic roast sale, with select boneless varieties all $5.99 a pound.
In organic produce at Sprouts, I'm liking on-the-vine tomatoes at $1.98 a pound, five pound bags of carrots $2.98 each, celery or gold beets with tops just 98 cents a bunch, red, green or black grapes all $2.50 a pound, Bartlett pears just 98 cents a pound, and one pound containers of strawberries $2.50 each. Elsewhere in the store, Voskos Greek yogurts are 99 cents each, but the big news to me is that vitamin and body care sale.
I can't make a habit of adding in Lucky's as I just don't have time, but since I've taken to shopping there pretty frequently, here's a very quick look. As usual, the stores differ, with the Boulder one looking stronger to me in organic produce, while the Longmont one offers better sale prices on meat and seafood (although generally not the "Never Ever" standards ones). This week, the Boulder store again looks great in organic produce, while in meat and seafood, wild sockeye fillets are $9.99 a pound (the flyer doesn't specify fresh/frozen), beef kabobs are $7.99 a pound, housemade crab cakes are $3.99 each, and boneless chicken breasts with Lucky's "Never Ever" standards are $4.99 a pound. At the Longmont store, you'll find those crab cakes for $1 less at $2.99 each, the kabob offerings instead are chicken at $3.99 a pound and tuna at $6.99 a pound, and boneless skinless chicken breasts are just $1.97 a pound, but these are "all natural" as opposed to the "Never Ever" standards in the Boulder sale. However, Lucky's tests all its meats to make sure they are antibiotic-free at the time of their demise.
