What is a decent price/lb for brisket? Where have you found is the best place to get one?

My local butcher shop, while awesome and family owned, charges $5.95/lb for brisket and $8.95/lb for Tri Tip.

I've been trying to convince my wife that we need a membership to Costco solely for the meat selection, but thought I would ask my brothers and sisters in smoke before I make the final decision. Thanks!

Meat prices vary so much based on what part of the country you're from and what is a good price for you may not be the same for me. Take Tri-Tip (a west coast cut) for instance: Out here in LoCal I just stocked up when they were on sale for #2.99 a lb. but are normally sold for anywhere from $4.99 to 6.99 on the high side. I hear on the east coast $6.99 is about as low as you’ll find it. My local Costco has Brisket flats for $6.99 and whole packer for $5.99. Now I would imagine that Brisket maybe be cheaper in Texas than it would be here in LoCal.
