brisket price thread. for your local area
So around here as I have said before its very grocery dominated tourism area.
Publix, harris teeter and sams have flats for around 3.50 to 4.50 a pound Sams whole briskets are 2.58 a pound but thats a case by. You can get them around tue holidays but other times you either have to get enough for a case or you are SOL Local (25 miles aways) butcher is 6.99 a pound for select packers but they are always good..although expensive. Walmart will occasionally have something cheaper grade. Pigley wigly will occasiobally have one at 5 to 7 a pound. I see many of you talking about 2 to 4 a pound..I am envious. I have been looking to order online if my market is so out of price. Do these prices sound outrages to you or in the ballpark? What do you pay? |

Same here with sticker shock. Saw a nice pack of dino bones at BJs until I saw the $32 price tag. Hate to say it but last years drought might have me a vegetarian till it turns.

HEB is $2.18/lb at most locations for packers that can vary from ungraded to CAB Choice. The closest wally world to me has packers for $1.77.lb, and they vary from select to choice with a ratio of about 50/50 select to choice in the display case at any one time. So if I were gonna get a brisket, I'd head over to wally's and pick out a nice choice packer in the 9 to 10 lb range that has an evenly thick flat and a decent point.
The real deal is when wallyworlds' packer briskets get close to the sell by date. They will mark them down to around $1.25 a lb, and they were nice enough to wet age them for me.

I guess i should just keep bothering Sams to get more in. Paying 6.99 a pound a couple times a month will kill my account at the butcher
