This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)

Good snowy and bitterly cold morning, Boulder! A high of 7 sounds just ducky, doesn't it? Meanwhile, we have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts and Whole Foods stores, while the current one continues through December 13th at Vitamin Cottage (use the list of posts at the bottom left to pop back to that one). Here's what's looking good to me now.

At Sprouts through November 19th, previously frozen wild Alaskan sockeye salmon fillets are $8.99 a pound, while farmed tilapia is $6.99 a pound. (Swordfish is also $6.99 a pound, but I bet it isn't domestic.) I'm pleased to see stew beef at $3.99 a pound (London broil also), since Sprouts has been advertising that at $1 more and even higher in recent months. Three types of chicken sausage are $3.99 a pound, but sale chicken otherwise is dark meat this week. With Thanksgiving coming up, it's probably good to start eating alternatives to poultry before the week of turkey hits. Bone-in ribyeye roasts or steaks are a possibility at $9.99 a pound.

In organic produce at Sprouts, Braeburn and red delicious apples and yellow onions are all 98 cnets a pound, green bell peppers are 98 cents each (very good for organic), some Earthbound Farm organic salads are $1.98 each, curly green kale and green, red or rainbow chard are all $1.50 a bunch, raspberries are $2.99 for a six ounce container, and green or black grapes are $2.99 a pound. Elsewhere in the store, I'm liking some Earth Balance buttery spreads for $3.49 (although they're $2.99 at Vitamin Cottage), and some gluten-free holiday favorites are on sale, including my favorite Crunchmaster crackers at just $2 a bag.

In Whole Foods' new sale through December 2nd, I'm liking Diestel fresh turkeys at $2.49 a pound (usually my go-to turkey, although this year I might look for a pre-brined one), and American Homestead or Wellshire spiral sliced hams for $4.99 a pound (and at Whole Foods you're assured nothing has been added). Fresh Icelandic cod is also tempting at $12.99 a pound, although king salmon makes for a pretty pricey dinner at $17.99 a pound (fresh/frozen not specified, but the fresh salmon season should be over). I mostly buy organic produce, but asparagus, presumably conventional, looks festive at $2.98 a pound, and green beans are pretty cheap at $1.48 a pound. Whole Foods' own organic rosemary sourdough is $3.99 a loaf, Fromage D'Affinois is $4 off at $14.99 a pound, Udi's gluten-free dinner rolls are $2 off at $5.99 for a six-count package, and here's a hot one: all Frontier spices are 25% off. Finally, if you aren't up for spending all day making your own Thanksgiving desserts, six inch pumpkin cheesecakes are $4 off at $19.99 each.
