When does brisket go on sale?

Trumpstylz · 01-16-2013, 05:00 PM

Is there a certain time of year, particularly up north?

st. patricks day

I usually only see corned beef brisket around paddys day, but I guess I never really checked the unmodified brisket.

Never drops below $6/pound around here.

Unless you go to RD..... much better $$$$.

When the supply exceeds demand, If the drought continues early summer should see a price drop.

expatpig · 01-16-2013, 05:49 PM

Is this a trick question?...here goes, when the price goes down?

Well, it's more complicated than just being seasonal, but demand is typically lowest in the period between St. Patricks Day and Easter.

Definitely a trick question - the answer is "after they slaughter the ox!!!"

What he said. You can barely see a full packer anywhere around Chicago at the major grocery stores let alone a sale. RD is your best bet.

Here in Texas i find my best sales around Memorial Day and July 4th & usually stock up then.

Here in california I have never seen a packer in the store. Only restaurant depot or sometimes smart and final.
