New Deals At Alfalfa's

Alfalfa's has a new set of specials that started yesterday and runs all the way through June 28th ("runs" should agree with "set," not "specials," right?). Deals that look particularly appealing include Meyer Angus aged sirloin for $7.99 a pound. The sale flyer includes a recipe for steak au poivre using it, which they were sampling yesterday, and it was divine (although the recipe calls for a scary-sounding step involving flaming bourbon). They have Copper River salmon at "market price," which as noted in the post below, was $15.99 a pound yesterday, possibly the best price in town. Organic on-the-vine tomatoes look really good at $1.99 a pound. (Sunflower has organic hothouse ones for the same price this week, but on-the-vine tend to be tastier, IMHO. For the roma shape, Whole Foods is doing even better at $1.49 a pound.) Organic mini carrots are good at $1.50 for a one pound bag, red grapes are $1.99 a pound (same price as green at Whole Foods for the next two weeks), and organic cantaloupe is half price at 99 cents a pound. Their own fresh basil potato salad looks like a tempting side at $3.99 a pound ($3 off). Pre-grated parmesan is a convenient refrigerator staple, and Cello is good at $6.99 a pound. It's also time to stock up on Izze sparkling juice cans for the summer, since they're BOGO.
