Weekend Plus Copper River
Once again, it looks like our local Whole Foods stores aren't planning any particular sales for the weekend, at least that they've posted yet (although their weeklong steak sale is enough to lure anyone in anyway, see Wednesay's post for that). As for the current state of fresh Copper River salmon fillets, yesterday at the Sprouts on Arapahoe I saw them for $15.99 a pound. At Whole Foods yesterday, they'd dropped a whopping $1 to $28.99 a pound, although they were indeed beautiful, basically ready for their photo shoot. And as mentioned Wednesday, King Soopers is advertising them this week for $14.99 a pound, club price.

This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)
We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Whole Foods stores. Here's what's looking good to me now.
Sprouts will do another 72 hour sale this Friday through Sunday, but the only items particularly appealing to me are previously frozen 16/20 count farmed shrimp for $6.99 a pound, quinoa (white or tri-color) $1.99 a pound, and raw almonds $3.99 a pound. I don't eat conventional strawberries, but those will be just 98 cents for a one pound package.
In Sprouts' regular sale starting today through June 22, I'm liking bone-in New York steaks at $6.99 a pound (everybody's advertising things for the grill for Father's Day), their own stuffed chicken breasts $2.99 a pound (boneless skinless ones also that price), whole or split fresh chickens $1.69 a pound, stew beef okay at $4.99 a pound, and boneless pork loin chops or St. Louis spare ribs $3.99 a pound. And if you don't want to break out the grill for dad, they have fully cooked full 22 ounce racks of baby back ribs for $11.99 each. In fish, previously frozen five ounce lobster tails are $5.99 each for a surf 'n turf on the grill for dad, and previously frozen wild jumbo sea scallops are $10.99 a pound, but I'd avoid the halibut or farmed salmon sold in portions if you do the math to make it per pound. They aren't advertising Copper River salmon, but I saw it at $15.99 a pound a few days ago, would hope it might be the same or lower. King Soopers is advertising Copper River for $14.99 a pound with card, while Safeway only says it is "available."
In organic produce at Sprouts, mini sweet peppers are $1.98 a pint, and they are great on the grill, while the rest is fruit: yellow peaches $1.98 a pound, red or green seedless grapes $1.98 a pound, and various sized strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or raspberries all $2.98 a container. Elsewhere in the store, I'm liking bulk coffee at $6.99 a pound (actually loving that one, and it includes organic), and the rest of the sale primarily emphasizes Sprouts' own brand in every department.
I know Whole Foods simply must have a new sale starting today, but as of this fairly early morning writing, the Pearl Street website is still listing the sales that ended yesterday. I'll check again on that later today, when new stuff surely will be up.
Update - so Whole Foods did finally update its sales post sometime this morning. For the sale running through June 21st, the stunner is their exceedingly fine boneless beef ribeye steaks for just $10.99 a pound, $9 off. If you are looking for brined meats for the grill, bone-in split chicken breasts are $3.99 a pound, and classic brined pork chops are $5.99 a pound. Organic strawberries are $2.99 for a one pound package, basically matching Sprouts. Also looking good are Cilegine mozzarella at $2.99 for eight ounces (caprese time!), Farmers Market potato salad in prepared foods at $6.99 a pound as an easy cheat for that bbq menu, and with all that time possibly outside this weekend (although it's going to be HOT!), some four ounce Alba Botanica sunscreens are $7.99 each. And maybe with that heat you'll want some Talenti gelato or sorbetto at $3.50 each.

No Weekend Sale?
Whole Foods usually does some sort of specials for the weekend, but as of this writing, they haven't posted any on the Pearl Street page. Bummer, but it doesn't mean something might still be happening.

This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)
We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Whole Foods stores. Something new is probably also happening at Vitamin Cottage, since their long-lasting sale ended last Saturday, must check that out. So here's what's looking good to me now.
At Sprouts through June 15th, I'm liking value packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.88 a pound, London broil $3.99 a pound, bone-in country style pork ribs $1.99 a pound (shoulder roast also), and their own stuffed chicken breasts $2.99 a pound. In fish, really big previously frozen 13/15 count raw farmed shrimp are $7.99 a pound, previously frozen wild Alaskan snow crab clusters are $7.99 a pound, and fresh farmed Atlantic salmon fillets are $6.99 a pound, but stay tuned shortly for a post about salmon.
In organic produce at Sprouts, on-the-vine tomatoes are $1.98 a pound, then the specials are all fruit: red, green or black seedless grapes $2.98 a pound, various size packages of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries $2.98 each, and Red Raven black plums $1.98 a pound. Elsewhere in the store, I'm liking bulk cut hot pepper jack cheese for just $1.99 a pound, Horizon Organic milk $2.99 for a half gallon, a line drive of 30% off all Amy's brand products, my very favorite Green Mountain Creamery Greek yogurts just 77 cents each (most are 110 calories!), Home Run Inn frozen pizzas $6.99 each, Annie's mac and cheese $1 a box, the 15-ish size of Muir Glen organic tomatoes $1.25 a can, 5.5 ounce bags of Late July tortilla chips $2 each, and spice it up with 40% off all Tabasco brand products.
At Whole Foods through the 14th, I'm ecstatic about wild halibut fillets for $14.99 a pound (nearly half price, and MSC certified of course, but wonder that it doesn't specify fresh/frozen). Also, brined St. Louis style pork ribs are $4.99 a pound, and Belgioioso Auricchio burrata is again $3.99 for eight ounces. Some Mineral Fusion shampoos and conditioners are half off at $5 each, and some Fage Greek yogurts are $1.25 each. Otherwise, not a lot is hitting me for this week's sale, but I'll be on their doorstep for that halibut.

Whole Foods Launches New Store Concept
I read yesterday via my cool new favorite New Yorker app that Whole Foods has just launched the first of a new line of smaller, lower cost stores, 365 by Whole Foods. It's evidently tech- and millenial-friendly, and scaled back in ways such as no butcher in the meat section. Aside from the tech saturation, I'm rather wondering if Whole Foods wasn't in fact piloting something along these lines when they took over and revamped the Wild Oats at Broadway and Baseline a few years ago, offering something more for the CU student than the serious cook. In any case, the intriguing New Yorker article is available here.

One-Day Sale At Whole Foods Today
For today only, the 1st, our local Whole Foods stores have Kikka sushi spicy salmon avocado rolls (seven ounces) for $4.19 each, basically half off.
This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)
Good first morning of June, after a lovely overnight rain. We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Whole Foods stores, while the current long lasting one at Vitamin Cottage runs through this Saturday, the 4th (heads up on that one). Here's what's looking good to me now.
At Sprouts through June 8th, I'm liking boneless pork loin chops (roast also) for just $1.79 a pound, grass fed fresh ground beef $4.99 a pound, their own stuffed chicken breasts $2.99 a pound, there's a Buffalo Stampede of many specials on bison, and fresh ground chicken, chicken breast or pork are $2.99 a pound. In fish, I'm liking previously frozen wild Alaskan cod fillets for $6.99 a pound, and previously frozen 21/25 count farmed ez peel raw shrimp for $5.99 a pound. They also have three fish specials priced per portion - do the math on those and you probably won't bite. And we've just barely entered the fresh wild salmon season that always begins very high, no advertised specials on that yet.
In organic produce at Sprouts, pints of mini sweet peppers (great on the grill) are $1.98 each, some one pound packages of Earthbound Farm salads are $3.98 each, red or green seedless grapes are $2.98 a pound, and mini seedless watermelons are just $1.98 each. Elsewhere in the store, I'm liking Newman's Own pizzas $5.99 each, some Kashi cereals (bars also) $2.99 each, Near East side dishes $2 a box, DeLallo whole wheat pastas $2 each, and I've never tried them, but Plainville Farms organic sliced meats sound good at $5.99 for a six ounce package. Plus there's a Sip into Summer sale with a bunch of beverages 50% off.
At Whole Foods through the 7th, much looks like a repeat of last week, but I'm liking air-chilled split chicken breasts for $2.49 a pound (half price), fresh Artic char fillets $12.99 a pound, brined St. Louis style pork ribs $4.99 a pound, and brined chicken breasts $6.99 a pound (although far better to get the split ones and brine them yourself). I'm also liking Principe prosciutto di San Daniele $2.99 for a one ounce package, Belgioioso Auricchio burrata $3.99 for an eight ounce container, and for a cheat, the prepared caprese salad sounds good at $6.99 a pound, $3 off. In organic produce, blueberries are $3.98 a pint, cantaloupes are $2.50 each, and red or green seedless grapes are $2.99 a pound, basically a match with Sprouts on that one.

Copper River Salmon Has Arrived
So let the insanity begin with the start of the fresh wild salmon season. Whole Foods has Copper River fillets for $29.99 a pound, seen yesterday at the store in Superior since access there seemed far better than trying to get to Pearl Street during the Bolder Boulder. I'll wait a few days until the price almost surely drops, then the other river sources come in and it's heaven for us fresh wild salmon fans.

This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)
We have new sales today at our Boulder Sprouts and Whole Foods stores, while the current one continues at Vitamin Cottage through June 4th (look several posts below for that one). Here's what's looking good to me now, and these are sales that take us across a big grilling holiday weekend.
At Sprouts through June 1st, I'm impressed with bone-in country style pork ribs at $1.49 a pound, very good either simply grilled or even better smoked, and value packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts are just $1.77 a pound. Pork spare ribs are $2.99 a pound, while bone-in beef short ribs are $3.99 a pound. Whole or split chickens are $1.49 a pound, several types of fresh sausage are $2.99 a pound, bone-in ribeyes are $10.99 a pound, and 93% lean ground sirloin is $4.99 a pound. So many choices for what to put on the grill. In fish, fresh farmed salmon is $6.99 a pound (also good on the grill), previously frozen jumbo wild sea scallops are $9.99 a pound, and previously frozen 31/40 count wild Gulf shrimp are $5.99 a pound.
In organic produce at Sprouts, on-the-vine cluster tomatoes are $1.98 a pound (a good price, but don't forget the spectacular 98 cents a pound on organic romas that ends today), one pound packages of strawberries are great at just $1.98 each, and six-ish ounce containers of blackberries or blueberries are $2.50 each. Elsewhere in the store, I'm liking bulk coffee at just $6.99 a pound, Crunchmaster's fave crackers $2 a bag, Clif bars $1 each, Food Should Taste Good tortilla chips $2 for a 5.5 ounce bag, and some Boulder Canyon potato chips or popcorn BOGO. Oh, and for total laziness (or maybe a great choice if the predicted thunderstorms materialize on Monday afternoon), the deli has full 22 ounce racks of cooked baby back ribs for $11.99 each.
At Whole Foods through May 31st, I'm liking brined St. Louis style pork ribs with a fine pedigree for $4.99 a pound, in-house brined chicken breasts $6.99 a pound, ditto that pedigree, and beef kabobs $7.99 a pound, again all with a fine pedigree. Organic red or green seedless grapes are $2.99 a pound, pints of organic blueberries are $3.99 each (wonder how a pint compares to the ounces in Sprouts' sale), and conventional sweet corn is four for $1, not bad at all as we patiently wait for our local Munson's corn. I'm also liking Belgioioso Auricchio burrata at $3.99 for eight ounces, Honest Tea organic lemonades just $1.50 for a 32 ounce bottle, and nine-ish ounce bags of Bearitos corn chips at $3 a bag. I'm also quite curious about 365 brand organic 10-minute whole grains. I've never noticed them before, and a sale price of $2.50 for 8.8 ounces might tempt me to see what I could do with an organic whole grain in just 10 minutes instead of planning much longer time.

This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)
We have sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Whole Foods stores. Something is undoubtedly going on at Vitamin Cottage too, must check that out. Here's what's looking good to me now.
At Sprouts through May 25th, I'm liking their stuffed chicken breasts at $2.99 a pound, boneless pork loin chops (roast also) $2.99 a pound too, baby back pork ribs $2.99 a pound, and chicken breast tenders okay at $2.99 a pound (someone was really in the mind for $2.99 this week). In fish, previously frozen wild Alaskan cod fillets are $6.99 a pound, and very big 16/20 count previously frozen wild Gulf shrimp (I like that they aren't farmed) are $8.99 a pound, putting me in the mood for a fish chowder.
In organic produce at Sprouts, 4.4 ounce containers of blueberries are just $1.98 each, roma tomatoes are fantastic at 98 cents a pound, yellow peaches are $1.98 a pound, and red or green seedless grapes are $2.98 a pound. Elsewhere in the store, there's a Better for You Brands sale, with a bunch of lines 35% off. I'm also liking half gallons of Horizon Organic milk just $2.99 each, some Wallaby organic yogurts 69 cents each, Sprouts' own orange juice $2.99 for a half gallon, 32 ounce GoodBelly juice $1.99 each, and all Spice Hunter products a whopping 50% off regular price. I've never tried them, but if you need a prepared catering tray for a party, they have 10 varieties at 25% off.
At Whole Foods through the 24th, I'm liking Driscoll organic raspberries at $3 a six ounce container, organic cantaloupes remain $2.50 each, some Zevia sodas are $3.50 for a six pack, some Evol breakfast sandwiches and burritos are $2 each, Whole Foods' fine pedigree St. Louis pork ribs are $3.99 a pound, responsibly farmed 31/40 count cooked white shrimp are $9.99 a pound, Honest Tea organic lemonade is just $1.50 for 32 ounces, and Whole Foods' own yummy smoked mozzarella pasta salad is $7.99 a pound ($3 off). Also, some very large 32 ounce Avalon organics shampoos, conditioners, lotion and bath gels remain a real bargain at $12.99 each. Finally, they're only 80 cents off, but six packs of brioche hot dog buns for $4.69 each (Euro Classic Imports) are making me wonder if I might try to do my own lobster rolls at home.

Wine At Our Local Food Stores
We have (or now had) wine and liquor stores attached to two of our natural foods stores in the area. The Lucky's Market one in Longmont is having to close because with Kroger recently moving in as a major partner, they evidently no longer meet a state requirement of one liquor store per brand. Whole Foods' wine store on Pearl Street continues strong, and for today only, they are offering Conde de Valdemar rose for $11.24 a bottle, $3.75 off. With drizzles and a high hoped for of 50 today, it's not exactly a rose-sipping day, but temps are expected to top 80 by this weekend.

WFM Sur La Table Discount
This one is different. Whole Foods is partnering to offer a 20% discount at Sur la Table through June 12th. Details here, and note that some major brands are excluded. With Chef's Catalog now sadly closed after so many years, our kitchenware options have narrowed, but also remember we have our local, one of a kind Peppercorn as well.

This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)
We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Whole Foods stores. There also should be something new happening at Vitamin Cottage, as their long lasting sale just ended, must check that out. Here's what's looking good to me now.
First of all, Sprouts will be doing another 72 hour sale this weekend, Friday through Sunday. Sweet corn looks fantastic at five for $1, just 20 cents each. It's conventional and not local, but we have to be realistic and take what we can get until our fabulous local Munson's corn starts coming in this summer. Also looking good are 21/25 count previously frozen raw shrimp for $6.99 a pound, bulk quinoa $1.99 a pound, Sprouts cage-free or omega-3 eggs $2.50 a dozen, and Sprouts kettle style potato chips 99 cents a five ounce bag.
In Sprouts' regular sale starting today through May 18th, I'm liking value packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts (thighs also) for $1.77 a pound (maybe a chicken or shrimp and corn chowder for the weekend), whole or split fresh chickens for $1.49 a pound, pork sholder roast or bone-in country style pork ribs $1.99 a pound, great to smoke on the grill, and fresh farmed salmon fillets $6.99 a pound.
In organic produce at Sprouts, sweet baby broccoli is 98 cents each (note that's for some unspecified amount, not per pound), twelve ounce packages of mini sweet peppers are $1.98 each (also great on the grill), and five-ish ounce (one's 4.4, the other 5.6) packages of blueberries or blackberries are $2.98 each. Elsewhere in the store, I'm liking Fage Greek yogurts BOGO, "hundreds" of gluten-free favorites on sale, all Pamela's products 40% off (wickedly good gluten-free cookies), Blue Diamond Artisan Nut Thins $2 a box (very good for the Artisan ones), and MaraNatha almond butter $5.99 for 12 ounces.
At Whole Foods through the 17th, I'm liking their fine 85% lean ground beef (with its grinding schedule posted by the hour) for $4.49 a pound, $2.50 off. Also some Evol breakfast sandwiches and burritos $2 each, Whole Trade organic cantaloupes $2.50 each, half off, some six packs of Zevia sodas $3.50 each, their own 365 organic bbq sauce $2.50 a bottle, and some of the big 32 ounce size bottles of Avalon Organics shampoo, conditioner, lotion and bath gels $12.99 each, nearly half off.

This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)
We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Whole Foods stores, while the long-lasting one at Vitamin Cottage runs through this Saturday, the 7th, so heads up on that one. Here's what's looking good to me now.
At Sprouts through the 11th, presumably since Mother's Day is coming up this weekend, a surf and turf special is at hand, with five ounce previously frozen wild lobster tails $5.99 each, and t-bone steaks $6.99 a pound. Yikes, how long has it been since I've done a t-bone cut. Their very good stuffed chicken breasts are $2.99 a pound (boneless skinless ones also at that price), stew beef is a good price at $3.99 a pound, grass-fed ground beef is $5.99 a pound, and filet mignon is $12.99 a pound. In fish, fresh farmed salmon is $7.99 a pound, previously frozen very big 16/20 count wild Gulf shrimp are $8.99 a pound, and previously frozen jumbo sea scallops are $12.99 a pound.
In organic produce at Sprouts, whole seedless watermelons are three pounds for $1, on-the-vine cluster tomatoes are $1.98 a pound (also a good deal at Whole Foods), and four pound bags of Valencia oranges are $2.98 each. In conventional produce, Hass avocados have bumped up from last week's great sale to 50 cents each, but that's still pretty good. Elsewhere in the store, with Cinco de Mayo still before us, fiesta favorites are 30% off, bulk organic coffee looks great at $6.99 a pound, some Brown Cow yogurts are 69 cents each, Home Run In pizzas are $5.99 each (I've really taken to those recently, but they are so big, they barely fit in my freezer), all Justin's great nut products are 35% off, Green & Black's chocolate bars (two other brands also) are just $2 each, and Muir Glen organic pasta sauces are $2.50 a jar.
At Whole Foods through the 10th, I'm liking fresh wild lake trout fillets at $10.99 a pound, farmed Norwegian salmon steaks for $8.99 a pound, and twelve ounce packages of 365 uncured smokehouse bacon nearly half off at $3.99 each. Their own prepared tamales are $2 each, a great value considering how much work goes into making a fresh tamale. Organic on-the-vine tomatoes are $1.99 a pound, basically matching Sprouts. Also, a large prepared 24 ounce quiche sounds like a good deal at $10.99 each ($3 off) for Mother's Day, especially if paired with that fine bacon that's nearly half off.

This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)
We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Whole Foods stores, while the current long one at Vitamin Cottage continues through May 7th (look quite a few posts down for that one). Here's what's looking good to me now.
Sprouts will offer another 72-hour sale this weekend, Friday through Sunday, where I'm liking previously frozen 26/30 count wild Gulf shrimp for $6.99 a pound, some Tillamook yogurts three for $1, whole seedless watermelons 10 cents a pound, and pork baby back ribs $2.99 a pound, although the weekend's weather isn't looking so great for bbqs and picnics for the latter two.
In Sprouts' regular sale from today through May 4th, I'm liking whole or split fresh chickens $1.49 a pound, ground chicken, pork or chicken breast all $2.99 a pound, stew beef $3.99 a pound, and quite lean 93% lean ground sirloin $4.99 a pound. It's another week where their fish specials aren't truly calling me.
In organic produce at Sprouts, yellow peaches are $1.98 a pound (it will be a while before we see those beautiful ones from the Western Slope, so get started with an alternative), green curly kale bunches or cucumbers are 88 cents each, Bartlett pears are 98 cents a pound, and four pound bags of Valencia oranges are $2.98 each. In conventional produce, avocado fans will delight in Hass avocados at three for $1 (hope you're still reading, Ms. A.!). Elsewhere in the store, with Cinco de Mayo coming up, there are lots of "fiesta favorites" at 30% off. I'm also liking some Siggi's Icelandic style yogurts $1 each, Garden of Eatin' Cantina tortilla chips $2.50 for a big 13 ounce bag, bulk pepper jack cheese $1.99 a pound, and a line drive on Barbara's products at 40% off. For those in the market, there's also a baby sale, with some natural and organic baby essentials 25% off.
At Whole Foods through May 3rd, Hass avocados are $1 each, not in the league of Sprouts' three for $1, but the ones at Whole Foods tend to be larger. Organic Whole Trade mini watermelons are $3.99 each, wild domestic 21/25 count raw shrimp are $9.99 a pound, and fresh lake trout fillets sound tempting at $10.99 a pound. Frontera marinades and cooking sauces are $2 each to make Cinco de Mayo easier, and 365 brand organic extra virgin olive oil in the Mediterranean blend are on sale in both the liter and half liter sizes. Plus Whole Foods Market omega supplements are 50% off.
