This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)

We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Whole Foods stores, while the current one continues at Vitamin Cottage through July 11th (look a ways below for that post). Here's what's looking good to me now.

At Sprouts through June 24th, it's salmon-lovers' season, with fresh wild Alaskan sockeye salmon fillets just $9.99 a pound (although if you specifically want Copper River, look to the post just below about Safeway's price). Baby back pork ribs are $2.99 a pound, boneless ribeyes are $10.99 a pound (think grilling for Father's Day for both of those), whole or split chickens are $1.69 a pound, chicken brats (pork also) are $3.99 a pound, ground chicken breast is $3.99 a pound, Rosie organic whole chickens are $2.99 a pound, huge 13/15 count raw ez peel shrimp are $9.99 a pound, and stuffed clams, scallops or crabs are all $1.50 each (previously frozen for the shrimp and stuffed shellfish).

In organic produce at Sprouts, containers of strawberries, blueberries or raspberries are all $2.88 each (one pound for the strawberries, six ounces for the others), grape tomatoes are $1.98 a pint, green curly kale is just 98 cents a bunch, and red, green or black grapes are $2.98 a pound. Elsewhere in the store, the big emphasis is on Sprouts' own brand, with specials in dairy, frozen, grocery, vitamins and body care, everywhere. Also, the ad I received (hope it's the same with the ones in the store) has a coupon on the front for $5 off a $30 purchase through the 24th.

At Whole Foods through June 30th, I'm liking their poblano pepper jack salmon burgers $3.99 each, absolutely loving fresh swordfish steaks $16.99 a pound (I see lots of swordfish in my immediate future), and boneless pork country style ribs (shoulder steaks also) are $3.99 a pound. Belgioioso burrata and burrata ovoline are $4.99 each, although the size isn't specified in the ad, and some Alba Botanica sunscreens are $3 off at $7.99 each. Not much else is calling directly to me, but all I really need is that swordfish.
