Last Day For Two Great Sales

Happy beautiful Sunday morning. It also happens to be the last day for two particularly good sales happening around here. The fresh wild king salmon fillets that Whole Foods has for $16.99 a pound through today were so spectacular from the grill last night, I just might have to pick up more today to use tomorrow. As an indicator of how good a deal this is, yesterday I was at the Boulder Farmers' Market at the fairgrounds in Longmont, and a vendor there was doing a good business selling frozen sockeye fillets at $15.99 a pound. Why buy frozen sockeye when you can get fresh king, the king of salmon, for $1 more?

It's also the last day for Alfalfa's sale on organic Full Circle Farms large (medium also) pumpkins for just $3 each. Again, at the Farmers' Market yesterday, I saw Full Circle was selling those large pumpkins at $8 each.

Carpe diem!

Free Pumpkins Around Boulder!

While you're picking up produce and decorations to match our fall weather, take advantage of an offer of a free pumpkin as well. Some I've noticed include Munson Farm currently offering a free kids pumpkin with any purchase if you bring a printout of their homepage showing the offer to the farm stand. Red Wagon Organic Farm has been distributing flyers at the Boulder Farmers' Market that say if you visit their new farm stand at 7694 N 63rd Street, you can get a free pumpkin there, up to $10 value through October 31st. Doesn't say you need the flyer, but it wouldn't hurt to have it with you. For kids 12 and under, Freuhauf's at 1665 33rd Street in Boulder (a garden center with gifts and outdoor furniture) has been running ads (including today) in the hard copy Daily Camera where kids can color a face on the published Jack-O-Lantern and bring it in (with an adult) for a free small pumpkin. Don't forget to pick up a few hundred dollars worth of lawn furniture while you're getting that free pumpkin.
