What a beautiful morning for the Boulder Farmers' Market. The spicy mixed greens I got last weekend were great in both a risotto and a pasta dish. More to come this week. Here's what the Market says to expect:
At the Market this Saturday:
arugula, over-wintered spinach, carrots, spicy greens, storage onions, scallions, kale, Swiss chard, radishes, lettuce, herbs, micro-greens, hanging baskets & a wide variety of gardens starts. All-season long: beef, lamb, chicken, eggs, pork, mushrooms, honey, cheese & preserves

Apps Everywhere
Sprouts has just announced they've added coupons to their mobile app, and Whole Foods has been promoting an app in the past week or so as well. Guess it's time to stare into a mobile device even more....

One-Day Sale At Whole Foods
For today only, the 6th, Whole Foods is offering a seven ounce shrimp California roll for $3.99 each, half off. Sushi time!
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 at Vitamin Cottage, as their long-lasting sale just ended, must check that out. Here's what's looking good to me now.
First, Sprouts will be doing another 72-hour sale this weekend, Friday through Sunday. Catching my eye are value packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.59 a pound, asparagus 98 cents a pound (although I haven't been thrilled with what they've been carrying so far this year), previously frozen 31/40 count wild Gulf shrimp $5.99 a pound, some of my favorite Blue Diamond Nut Thins the lowest I've ever seen at 99 cents a box, and a bunch of hair care 25% off.
In Sprouts' regular sale today through the 13th, I'm liking their own very good stuffed chicken breasts at $2.99 a pound, and they have a new applewood smoked bacon product that intrigues me because it says it's uncured, with no added nitrites or nitrates, and is only $4.99 a one pound package. Also, 93% lean ground sirloin looks good at $4.99 a pound, but otherwise, nothing in meat or fish is calling to me this week. Their pricing farmed salmon and wild halibut by the six ounce portion does not a deal make if you do the math.
Elsewhere in the store at Sprouts, the big Organic Sale continues, with some prices even better than last week's already good ones. I'm particularly liking on-the-vine organic tomatoes for just 98 cents a pound, and one pound of strawberries or six-ish ounc blackberries $2.98 a container (although you can catch the strawberries through today for $2.50). I'm also liking bulk organic coffee at $6.99 a pound, a dollar lower than last week, and I buy it weekly anyway, all Nature's Path products continue at 40% off, Late July chips are $1.50 a six-ish ounce bag, some DeLallo whole wheat pastas are $1.50 a one pound package, and Sprouts own beans are 99 cents a 15-ish ounce can, all of the above products and produce being organic.
At Whole Foods through the 12th, much looks to be a continuation of last week's sale despite the new dates. I'm liking organic Bartlett pears at $1.69 a pound, 26-30 count raw shrimp already peeled and deveined for $9.99 a pound (but remember Sprouts' weekend sale on shrimp too), ground turkey with a fine pedigree at $3.99 a pound, Barbara's Puffins cereals $3 a box, several 365 frozen entrees (including a vegan pizza) at $2.50 each, and I wonder how good Jasper Hill Cloth Bound cheddar must be at $19.99 a pound, because that's $10 off. Also, for your spring cleaning, all 365 Everyday Value cleaning products are 25% off.

Lucky's Market Partners With Kroger
When this news was first reported on April 1st, I ignored it, thinking it was an April Fool's prank, but now I see it's actually real. Gigantic Kroger (think King Soopers among other large grocery brands) has acquired a "significant" stake in Lucky's Market. I still like to think of Lucky's as our hometown independent, although that charming image may be becoming a bit outdated. While they initially had only the one store in north Boulder for years, and it seemed a big step when they opened a second store in Longmont in 2013, Lucky's now has 17 stores in 13 states, quite a jump. You can read all the details from the Daily Camera here.

Last Day For Chicken Wings
With today being the final game of so-called March Madness, even though it ends in April, it's your last shot at getting a big bucket of yummy chicken wings at Whole Foods for $9.99 each, $5 off. But we did much better during the wing bucket sale that always occurs for the Super Bowl - this year they priced it by the pound, which was probably someone's big mistake, resulting in buckets that were on sale for closer to $6. No matter, they are still addictive and a good deal at $9.99.

Boulder Farmers' Market Opens Today
Looks like a lovely day for the opening of the Boulder Farmers' Market for the season today, 8 to 2 in downtown Boulder, 8 to 1 at the fairgrounds in Longmont. The Market has announced several new vendors for this year, and I'm especially excited to see that Dakota Soifer of Cafe Aion will be cooking up a storm in the Boulder food court. Time for some spring greens and anything that can be grown in a greenhouse!

Heads Up Re Vitamin Cottage
Just a reminder that the current long-lasting sale at Vitamin Cottage runs only through tomorrow. My prior report on it is here, but stocks sometimes run low, and who knows what goodies a new sale will bring.
