I've been watching meat prices climb and drop all year. I found that I liked getting the leaner flats at costco but they at some point figured out they were too cheap and raised their prices by a bunch - from 2.29/lb to 2.99/lb. They said the last time I was in they may not ever go below 2.59 again.
Their boneless butts are always 1.39/lb and they are big mommas. But the issue there is spoilage. In the last 4 months I've had 4 - 5 spoiled butts I had to return. They're cryo'd so I can't inspect the odor ahead of time.
The slaughter house/meat factory I buy bulk is usually somewhere between 1.25 - 2.19/lb for cryo brisket. I drop about 3lbs of fat when I trim them but they are still a full 10-14lbs afterward. The butts are always bone in and I've never paid more than 1.30 for fresh ones. Literally done that week.
What are you guys paying?
P.S. Any of the Ohio brethren want to buy a case or two of brisket I have no problem with hooking a brother up if it's cheaper for you.
