This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)

We have a new sale starting today at our Boulder Sprouts stores, while the current ones continue at Whole Foods through April 1st, and Vitamin Cottage through April 5th. Here's what's looking good to me now, IMHO as always.

Sprouts' new sale through April 2nd is placing a big emphasis on sales within its own brand. I've tried their own pasta sauce, which was quite good, but otherwise have little to no experience with the various Sprouts items on sale, so this week leaves me a little stuck. In meat and fish, I do like previously frozen wild Alaskan cod fillets for a very low $4.99 a pound, boneless New York steaks $7.99 a pound, chicken sausage (pork also) $2.99 a pound, and fresh Atlantic farmed salmon $9.99 a pound. It's nice to see first of the season fresh Alaskan halibut being advertised, but at $8.99 for a pre-cut six ounce portion (multiply that one to your price per pound), I'm not jumping on that.

In organic produce at Sprouts, pints of grape tomatoes are very good at $2 each, green curly kale is just 98 cents a bunch, red, green or rainbow chard are all $1.50 a bunch, red or green leaf lettuce is also $1.50 a head, four pound bags of Valencia oranges are just $2.50 each, and five pound bags of carrots (what's a "table carrot"?) are $2.98 each. In conventional produce, asparagus is now $1.98 a pound, still a good price. As for the rest of the store, as I said, this week's emphasis in on Sprouts' own brand, and while I'm sure many of the products are great, I don't have experience and therefore can't speak re them.

Finally, the hard copy of this week's Sprouts ad has a $5 off coupon for a purchase of $30 or more (good at both Boulder stores and a bunch of others, but Longmont isn't listed) through April 2nd, but the coupon doesn't appear in the online version.
