This Week's Hot New Deals (IMHO)

We have new sales happening starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Sunflower. Alfalfa's should be starting a new one too, but the flyer they have posted right now in their Facebook photos is still for the one that ended yesterday. Meanwhile, current sales continue at Vitamin Cottage and Whole Foods (click those links for prior reports). Here are the highlights of the new deals, IMHO, as always.

Chicken sausage wars: $2.99 a pound at both Sprouts and Sunflower through August 10th.

At Sprouts through the 10th, fish is looking good, with fresh wild Alaskan sockeye at $8.99 a pound, and wild caught haddock (I'd assume previously frozen) for just $3.99 a pound. Top sirloin is also good at $3.99 a pound, filet mignon steaks are $12.99 a pound, and ground pork is $2.99 a pound. In organic produce, I'm liking yellow peaches at $1.99 a pound, six ounces of blueberries for $2.99 each, romaine hearts at $1.99 for a three-pack, broccoli or Italian squash for $1.49 a pound (but the broccoli's better at Sunflower - just 99 cents a pound for organic!), and one pound bags of baby carrots are $1.50 (same at Sunflower). I'm very enthused about Sprouts' wonderful bulk coffee, which includes organic Fair Trade in both regular and decaf, for just $7.99 a pound this week. Also, Brown Cow Greek yogurt looks good at $1 each (basically same at Sunflower), and Evol's yummy (and local) burritos are $2 each.

At Sunflower through the 10th, I'd consider getting pulled into their big promo, sweet corn at six ears for $1. It is from Colorado, but I'd assume straight conventional, and I'm pretty dedicated to Munson Farms' local, pesticide-free corn that's 50 cents each at the farm stand (three ears for $2 at the Farmer's Market). Sunflower's doing a Chicken Extravaganza, with lots of cuts and ground meat all at 50% off. In organic produce, the stunner is broccoli for 99 cents a pound, with red or yellow onions also looking good at 99 cents a pound, baby carrots $1.50 a one pound bag (same at Sprouts), red, green or black grapes $2.99 a pound, and romaine hearts $2.50 a three-pack (but $1.99 for those at Sprouts). Brown Cow non fat Greek yogurts are 99 cents each (beating Sprouts by a penny), some of my fave Ezekiel sprouted breads are very good at $2.99 a loaf, select Back to Nature cookies and crackers are $2.50 a box, and I'm intrigued by a new, aged version of parmesan cheese from Wisconsin for $7.99 a pound.

I'll report on what's happening with any new sale at Alfalfa's as soon as I get my hands on that info.
