This Week's Hot Grocery Deals (IMHO)

We have new sales starting today at our Boulder Sprouts stores, while the current sale continues through April 14th at Whole Foods. Here's what's looking good to me now, IMHO as always.

Sprouts will be offering us another 72 hour sale this weekend, starting Friday the 10th and running through Sunday. I've been seeing sweet corn starting to pop up in stores (most likely from Mexico at this stage of the game), and for the weekend, Sprouts will have it for just 25 cents an ear. We're a long way from my favorite local corn starting in July, so I'll have to snarf up quite a bit of this corn this weekend. Other items in the weekend sale looking good to me are pretty big 16/20 count previously frozen peeled and deveined raw shrimp for $7.99 a pound (all your work already done for you), Tillamook yogurts, which I've never seen before but love their cheese, at 50 cents each, and all hair care 25% off.

In Sprouts' regular sale running from today through April 15th (happy tax day), I'm liking value packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts for just $1.79 a pound, farmed fresh Atlantic salmon fillets $5.99 a pound, whole or split chickens $1.69 a pound (cut up a little higher), pork shoulder roast $2.99 a pound, ribeye steaks $8.99 a pound for bone-in, $10.99 a pound for boneless, and 30/40 count Peruvian sea scallops (previously frozen) for $8.99 a pound. Those sea scallops and the weekend sale's already peeled shrimp could make a nice fish chowder (with corn!).

In organic produce at Sprouts, vine ripe tomatoes are fantastic at 98 cents a pound (although I was disappointed yesterday in the heirlooms on sale through today as too ripe and soft), one pound bags of baby carrots are $1.50 each, red beets are $1.50 a bunch, four pound bags of Valencia oranges or grapefruit are $2.50 each, and Gala apples and Bartlett pears are both $1.50 a pound.

Elsewhere in the store at Sprouts, I'm loving their bulk coffee at $6.99 a pound (although it says "select varieties" - hope that means most as it usually does), some Late July organic tortilla chips 99 cents for a 6-ish ounce bag, local Noosa yoghurts very low for them at $1.50 each, some Earth Balance buttery spreads (excellent and no cholesterol) $3.49 each, and Voskos Greek yogurts $1 each. Finally, even though were still a ways from Earth Day, Seventh Generation products are looking extremely good, with dish or hand soap $2.50 each, laundry detergents ranging from 95 to 100 ounces $9.99 each, and 12-packs of toilet tissue nearly half price at $5.99 each.
