And what a week it is, with the holidays. We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Whole Foods stores, and I need to find out what's happening at Vitamin Cottage since the end of its most recent sale. Here's what's looking good to me now.
At Sprouts through December 24th (and mercifully the flyer says they will be closed on the 25th), their "Presidential Cut" standing rib roast is $7.99 a pound (that's the price for Choice grade - ad says Prime is also available), value packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts are $1.99 a pound, fresh turkeys are $1.99 a pound, and all fresh sausage is on sale, $2.99 a pound for bulk, $3.99 for links. In fish, previously frozen Alaskan cod fillets are $6.99 a pound, previously frozen five ounce lobster tails are $5.99 each, and previously frozen Alaskan sockeye salmon fillets are $7.99 a pound.
In organic produce at Sprouts, Braeburn or Gala apples and acorn, butternut or spaghetti squash are all 98 cents a pound, russet potatoes are just 68 cents a pound, five pound bags of carrots are $2.98 each, pints of grape tomatoes are $2.50 each, and four pound bags of Valencia oranges are $2.50 each. I don't buy much conventional produce, but asparagus at $1.98 a pound and whole pineapples just 98 cents each are looking good to me. Elsewhere in the store, bulk coffee looks good at $7.99 a pound, Green Mountain Creamery Greek yogurts (my new fave with so many flavors that are just 110 calories, much lower than most) are $1 each, all Spice Hunter spices are half off, and Near East boxes of pilaf, couscous and the like are all 30% off.
Whole Foods has a new sale through December 31st, but as of 6:15 this morning, the flyer pdf the Pearl Street store has posted is still the old one that ended yesterday. I'll do the best I can off their alternate presentation of features in boxes, which is harder to work with. Through the 31st, American Homestead spiral-sliced hams are $4.99 a pound, $2 off, and a few days ago, the guy in the Tasty Town booth was giving away coupons for $5 off the total, probably still has them. Their very good fresh Icelandic cod is $12.99 a pound, $2 off, domestic jumbo raw shrimp are $15.99 a pound, $2 off, and fans of king salmon fillets might shell out $17.99 a pound, also $2 off. Organic baby broccoli looks good at $2 a bunch, and organic pink lady apples are $1.98 a pound. Parmigiano Reggiano is $3 off at $17.99 a pound, "build your own" entertaining platters in the bulk section are $2 off at $7.99 a pound (now that's an idea!), and my favorite Imagine chicken broths are $2.50 a box.
