This Week's Hot New Deals (IMHO)

We have new specials today from our Boulder Sprouts and Sunflower, while previously reported deals continue from Alfalfa's, Vitamin Cottage, and Whole Foods (click those links for my reports). Here's what's appealing to me in the new specials.

Boneless, skinless chicken breast wars: $1.88 a pound (value pack) at Sprouts, $1.99 a pound (family pack) at Sunflower, both through June 29th.

At Sprouts through the 29th, I'm also liking their stuffed chicken breasts all for $2.88 a pound, fresh wild Alaskan sockeye salmon for $9.99 a pound, boneless ribeye steaks at $9.99 a pound, and beef stew meat for $3.99 a pound. In organic produce, I'm very enthused about cauliflower at 89 cents a pound, green onions at 49 cents a bunch, and baby carrots at $1.50 a one pound bag. Also in organic, two kinds of apples are 99 cents a pound, romaine hearts are $1.99 a three-pack, and D'Anjou pears are $1.49 a pound. Sprouts' own frozen veggies are $1.50 a one pound bag, refreshing Metromints are $1 a bottle, and medium or sharp Tillamook cheddar looks good at $3.99 a pound.

At Sunflower through the 29th, I'm raving about asparagus at $1.27 a pound. That will be conventional, but asparagus most often is, so I shirk my standards there and go for it. I'm also liking all fresh chicken sausage at $2.99 a pound and boneless pork loin chops for $3.99 a pound (although I froze some from Sprouts' fantastic $1.99 a pound sale a week ago). In organic produce, yellow peaches and nectarines look great at $1.99 a pound, Hass avocados are 99 cents each, yams, cantaloupe and honeydew melons are all 99 cents a pound, green onions are 99 cents a bunch (49 cents at Sprouts), and raspberries, blackberries, blueberries (all six ounces) or strawberries (one pound) are all $3 (but check the note below re King Soopers).

Finally, I don't usually include King Soopers, but they're doing a big organic produce sale this week through the 28th. Most notable is Driscoll's organic strawberries at $3.99 for a two pound package (that's a lot of strawberries for that price). Their raspberries or blackberries are both $1.99 for six ounces, honeydew or cantaloupe are 79 cents a pound, and there are other deals as well.
