Raw Deals — This week in the supermarket ads
November 19th, 2008 by Brian Ries in Food and Drink
This week is all about Thanksgiving, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find interesting things to cook in the lead up to turkey day. Here are some of the best sales on raw ingredients, with a few suggestions for what you can do with them:
Whole Foods - Local navel oranges are a mere $.69/pound (regularly $1.49). You could easily take these juicy, super sweet oranges and make ambrosia, but navels are best when just peeled and consumed. (full ad)
Publix - Start with some down and dirty Culinary Sherpa Carnitas de Puerco with the $1.59/pound Boston butt, then stay classy by poaching some $.99/pound Bartlett pears with this recipe from Savant Fine Dining’s David Miller. (full ad)
Sweetbay - You can turn the London Broil at $2.29/pound into incredibly hearty, warming Vietnamese pho thanks to this recipe from Jaden Hair, or grab a few pints of $1.99 grape tomatoes for this vegetable lasagne from the incomparable Jose Martinez. (full ad)
Fresh Market - French green beans are rare in local supermarkets, so it’s worth taking advantage of Fresh Market’s $2.98/pound sale, even if they are from Guatamala. Just simply saute them and finish with salt, butter and roasted garlic. (full ad)
Wal-Mart Supercenter - Not much going on, besides the usual Wal-Mart cost-cutting, but sweet potatoes are dirt cheap at $.25/pound. (full ad)
