Brisket Pricing

Evil-g · Jun 22, 2017

I went to GFS to pick up a couple Briskets and was shocked to see the price had risen from 2.39 to 3.69 a $1.30# difference. They also had a disclaimer up that due to unforeseen market conditions they are unable to honor the price. Can anyone with a cattle background expand upon the unforeseen condition. I know this happens periodically but I can usually find something on it. I checked the Supermarket News and not even a blurb.

It's been a while since I was in school, but I'm fairly confident that's a $.30 difference.

All I know is that cheap brisket around here is $4/lb on sale, from what I've seen.

According to this article- summer prices and overseas demand.

Believe it or not it's a good 60 second read. https://www.google.com/amp/www.hous...How-to-beat-high-cost-of-brisket-11209445.php

I meant 3.69#

Costco Primes have gone up $0.70/lb here last checked which were at $3.69. But then Sam's now carries Primes here for $3.17/lb last I was in. Choice is always about $2.39-2.69 at Smart&Final or Cash n Carry elsewhere.

Last time Brisket headed north of $4# I got really good at my steak game.
Rib eye Porterhouse t bone ny strip filet-Amen.

I love to smoke but prefer the taste of grilled- every time.

Funny, the butcher by my office just dropped the price of CAB packers from $4.49 to $3.99. Flats are a whopping $7.99 which makes no sense to me.

Dang. Knew i, should've stocked up at 2.30

I had the same sticker shock today in the same region. Went to Restaurant Depot to get some meat for a small gathering I'm hosting Saturday. The CAB's were $3.80 and standard choice about .10 cheaper. Opted for 2 pack of butts. I'll hold out on the beef and when I do I'm keeping it all to myself.

summer demand on beef nearly always goes up. I wont pay $4/lb for brisket. Id rather buy sirloin or chuck roasts..

Some of you serious bbq guys should look into "steamships" .. its a stellar piece.

For grins drove out to Sam's. 2.58# Select. Look at the quality of this brisket. Flat nice and thick AND even. Nice round point. White fat. I picked from about 10 in the bin.

MountainMan · Jun 22, 2017

I'm seeing an overall increase of a dollar or so in all meat here..........

flyingpigs · Jun 22, 2017

Beef market is up but should drop soon, overseas deal

CKYnick · Jun 22, 2017

Yea just visited RD today and CAB Brisket was something like $4.64/lb. They only had a handfull, no cases, no flats, barely any choice either. I BLAME TEXAS &#55358;&#56608;

Mgr said was proud to say they were cheaper than RD. Still trying to find out about the Market Conditions.

Be glad you don't pay cdn prices for beef.

I haven't bought steak in forever.

Even lean ground beef is approaching $4/lb at Costco
