Whole Foods: Wild-Caught Shrimp $7.99/lb. (10/14 Only)
If you are in the mood for seafood, then you just may want to plan a trip to Whole Foods tomorrow, October 14th, for their one-day wild-caught Atlantic white shrimp sale. Tomorrow only, you’ll be able to snag wild-caught Atlantic white shrimp at a sale price of just $7.99 per pound! Keep in mind that some stores may have a limit of 10 pounds per person.
Caught by US shrimpers at the peak of the season and frozen within hours of catch, Whole Foods doesn’t allow sulfites and phosphate preservatives so that you can enjoy the naturally sweet taste of the shrimp. These truly special shrimp are only available in the fall, so make sure you get them while they’re here to make the perfect fall meal.
Yikes! I can’t imagine spending that much on meat! $2.50/lb is about the top we’ll go!
Well it is seafood. Seafood is more expensive..
And you aren’t going to ever find shrimp for 2.50 a pound. Sorry. lol
But you are getting natural shrimp as opposed to ones that have preservatives. The cost always goes up when things don’t have as much shelf time but you have to take into account that you are eating healthier, just like when you buy organic veggies or fruits. It’s too bad that it costs more at times to eat better! 🙁
(I am saying “natural” for this because it is Whole Foods and they are known for being more on the pricey side as compared to places like Walmart).
Not to mention, the US commercial seafood industry is heavily regulated-so your guarenteed quality product; opposed to farm raised shrimp imports that contain chloramphincol – an antibiotic that keeps shrimp from dying in fecal contaminated water that also is a known cause of Leukemia – Wild Caught is the way to go.
Yes!!! I’m using my Living Social Whole Foods’ coupon tomorrow for sure.
Just a heads up – often times these sales are on the shrimp that you’re going to need to de-vein and peel – it can be a pain and it can take a long time. I bought some on sale last year because we only buy our seafood from Whole Foods & thought I was saving some money – but like a half hour into cleaning the shrimp I decided I would rather pay about $2 more, get them from the frozen section and have the work already done for me. HTH!
This shrimp is normally $14.99 a pound. My husband and I are making the trip today and stocking up!
I mean, afterall
“Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. There’s shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan-fried, deep-fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That’s…that’s about it.” – Bubba, Forrest Gump
Thanks, Shauna, you brought a smile to my face from one of my favorite movies!! Great comment!
anyone can provide a current match up with coupons so that we can “score” good deals while getting the shrimps?
