This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)

We have a new sale starting today at our Boulder Sprouts stores, while the current one continues through October 28th at Whole Foods and through November 1st at Vitamin Cottage (you can use the post index at the lower left to look back for those). Here's what's looking good to me now.

At Sprouts through October 29th, the best thing to me is the return of the Vitamin and Body Care Extravaganza, with everything in the department 25% off. It's such a great time to stock up on your favorites that you know otherwise rarely or never go on sale. In meat and seafood, wild Alaskan salmon has finally switched to previously frozen at the end of the fresh wild season, with sockeye fillets $10.99 a pound. They also have flash frozen swordfish steaks for the ridiculously low price of $4.99 a pound, which is assuredly not my preference of domestic swordfish. Value packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts are $2.99 a pound, bone-in country style pork ribs are also $2.99 a pound (shoulder roast also), whole or split fresh chickens are $1.69 a pound, and their own stuffed chicken breasts are $3.99 a pound.

In organic produce at Sprouts, gala apples, D'Anjou pears, and bunched broccoli are all $1.50 a pound (but I'm loving that Whole Foods has reduced its everyday price on organic broccoli to $1.97 a pound, at least at the Pearl Street store, so you know you'll never have to pay something outrageous on broccoli again), red, green or black seedless grapes are all $2.50 a pound, curly green, red or Lacinato kale are all $1.50 a bunch, and grape tomatoes are $2.50 a pint. Elsewhere in the store, bulk coffee is $7.99 a pound (but the everday price at Lucky's is $6.99 a pound, at least at the Longmont store), there's a line drive sale on all Pacific brand products at 30% off plus you save an additional $3 when you buy five of them, some Green Mountain Creamery Greek yogurts are $1 each, $1.69 is quite low for local Noosa eight ounce yoghurts, some Alexia frozen potatoes are BOGO, the 14-ish ounce size of Muir Gen organic tomatoes is $1.49 each, and some of my favorite DeLallo whole wheat pastas are $2.49 a package, but I stocked up when Whole Foods had them for just $2 each.
