Archive for the ‘Central Market’ CategoryUnadvertised price changes at Central Market and Whole FoodsI was happy to see lower prices on two items I buy regularly. I am not sure if they are sale prices or new, lowered prices though. Central Market Whole Foods Check out some upcoming events at Whole Foods (these are at the Park Lane store in Dallas. Check the Web site for events in your area): Saturday, July 31st Summer Saturdays – Peachy Keen Gluten Free Expo – Back To School Saturday, September 18th Whole Foods Market Turns 30! I checked out other Whole Foods store pages for stores in my area, and noticed the Richardson store is having a ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday at 4PM. Here are the details: “Please join us during the Ribbon Cutting ceremony by the Richardson Chamber of Commerce. There will be food and drink a plenty to commemorate this special occasion. Door Prizes and giveaways! Don’t miss the fun!” They are also offering a free “value tour” on August 16: “Sign up for a value tour of the store and learn how to shop Whole Foods Market on a budget. We will point out our favorite values, quick and healthy recipes and you get to sample all around the store! RSVP at carla.chavez@wholefoods.com.” Looks interesting! Check out what’s going on at a Whole Foods store near you. Price Comparison (DFW): Produce & Some Meat, Dairy & Nuts – week of 7/14/10 Cheap Peaches & Nectarines They are not nearly as good as the Texas-grown peaches I purchased at Central Market for $1.50/lb, but they’re fine for making peach sorbet and sauces! Speaking of Texas-grown peaches, the man who did the Williams-Sonoma technique class last weekend raved about Ham Orchard peaches. My daughter and I are planning a trip to Terrell to check it out. I’ll let you know what we find! Best Price on Organic Fuji Apples Last week, I found that Super Target sells them for $1.99/lb! Target does not have a huge quantity of these apples, and I only found a few that I felt were still worth buying, but given the amount of apples I buy each week, a $0.50/lb savings is huge! I use the apples to make applesauce (which we eat as is, and also in recipes) and baked apples. I have also started juicing apples since no commercial apple juices are “legal” on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Have you heard? Now on to the produce comparison document for the week of July 14… Here’s what I am thinking about buying this week: Kroger – Welch’s 100% Grape Juice 64 oz – $1.49 ea (use $1.00/1 printable coupon and must buy 10 participating items in mega sale – I may buy batteries). I printed the coupon last week, so I’m not sure if it is still available. Newflower Farmers Market – Apricots (US Grown) – $0.88/lb Sprouts – Seedless Watermelon – $1.49 ea (if cheaper than Newflower Farmers Market) Download the full comparison (PDF format). It covers the DFW-area following stores: Albertsons Please let me know if you have any questions! Produce Price Comparison for week of 6/30 (DFW)Download this week’s produce price comparison document (PDF). It covers advertised prices for conventional and organic produce at the following stores: Albertsons I will be posting about my kale chip experiment soon. I have read and heard many good things about kale chips, so when I saw the organic kale is $1.50/bunch this week at New Flower Market, I decided to get some. I have two “recipes” – one that you can make in the oven and one that you can make in a dehydrator. I tried the oven method today and think I over oiled them, but some were good. I am going to try the dehydrator method on Sunday and will post a comparison with photos. When another mother and I met with a Dallas-area Whole Foods store ambassador about food allergies a few weeks ago, she gave us a tour of the produce area. She told us about all the health benefits of kale (better than spinach, she said), and she gave us a small piece to try. It was interesting, but not something I would eat raw very regularly. The kale chips were much more tolerable. Best of all, my daughter LOVED them. Organic Raspberries at Central Market in Dallas – $1.50/carton I stopped by Central Market and discovered they have a large display of organic raspberries on sale for $1.50 per carton. We haven’t introduced raspberries into the SC Diet yet, so I cleaned them and put them in the freezer for later. I did sneak one when my daughter wasn’t looking, and they were really good! I do not know if all Central Market locations have organic raspberries on sale at this unadvertised price, or if this is just a special for the Dallas store (on Lovers Lane @ Greenville). Between now and July 4, Central Market is featuring produce and other products grown in Texas. Learn more here.
