This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)

We have a new sale starting today at our Boulder Sprouts stores, while the current one continues at Whole Foods through March 31st. I also tried stopping by Vitamin Cottage yesterday to see if their long term Hotlines might have returned, but parking there was a zoo and I was just too short on time. So here's what's looking good to me now, IMHO as always.

At Sprouts, first of all, there will be a 72 hour sale for this Friday through Sunday that includes "colossal" 13/15 count (that's indeed big) ez peel raw shrimp for $7.99 a pound, some 16 ounce packages of Sprouts' own frozen veggies just 99 cents each, pork baby back ribs $2.69 a pound, and Hass avocados three for $1. In Sprouts' regular sale through April 1st, value packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts are as low as they go at $1.69 a pound, and boneless pork loin chops (roast too) are also great at $1.99 a pound. Three types of chicken sausage are $3.99 a pound, Rosie organic whole chickens are $2.99 a pound, grass-fed boneless ribeyes or New York steaks are $10.99 a pound, and stew beef is $4.99 a pound. In fish, previously frozen Alaskan cod fillets are $7.99 a pound and 30/40 count Peruvian sea scallops are $8.99 a pound (there's a good fish chowder in that combination), while fresh farmed Atlantic salmon fillets are $8.99 a pound.

In organic produce at Sprouts, one pound containers of strawberries are stunning at $1.98 each, one pound bags of baby carrots are $1.48 each, leeks are $1.48 a pound if I'm reading the grouping correctly (very good for organic!), red beets are $1.48 a bunch, grape tomatoes are $2.50 a pint, and Valencia oranges or grapefruit are both $2.50 for a four pound bag. Elsewhere in the store, the emphasis is on sale prices for Sprouts' own brand, with a whole lot of Sprouts products listed.
