This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)

Happy Earth Day (also Administrative Professionals Day) and happy Wednesday, which means it's time for the natural grocery sales. We have a new sale starting today at our Boulder Sprouts stores, while the current one continues at Whole Foods through April 28th and at Vitamin Cottage all the way through May 30th (look a bit below for info on those). Here's what's looking good to me now.

At Sprouts through April 29th, the big news to me is the return of the Vitamin & Body Care Extravaganza, with everything that's in stock 25% off. That makes it a great time to pick up those items that might otherwise not go on sale, and also just a convenient time to stock up. In meat and seafood, I'm liking very big 16/20 count previously frozen raw peeled and deveined (no work for you!) shrimp for $7.99 a pound, whole or split chickens $1.69 a pound (cut up a little higher), their very good stuffed chicken breasts just $2.99 a pound, $1 lower than their usual sale price these days, and bone-in pork country style ribs $2.99 a pound (although we like those on the grill, but this weekend, especially Sunday, is sounding kind of rainy). I'm also curious about fresh wild Alaskan halibut steaks at $19.99 a pound. Must look again at Whole Foods, as the last time I looked, it was considerably higher there. I'd beware of Sprouts' fresh farmed salmon listed as six ounce portions at $4.99 each, as if you do the math, that's more than their usual sale price for farmed salmon.

In organic produce at Sprouts, whole seedless watermelons are three pounds for $1, green curly or Lacinato kale are 98 cents a bunch, cantaloupes are 88 cents a pound, and Bartlett pears are also 98 cents a pound (fewer organic sales than they usually advertise). Elsewhere in the store, the big news is of course the vitamin and body care sale. I'm also liking some Fage fruyo yogurts $1 each, bulk hot pepper jack $1.99 a pound, some Silk yogurts also $1 each, evol burritos $1.99 each, and the big 28 ounce size of Muir Glen organic tomatoes $2 a can.
