Brisket and Tri Tip price/location?
Hello fellow Farkers!
A few questions for you on this lovely Wednesday. 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!

I buy 95% of my smokin' meat from Sams club. In Iowa, I can usually get brisket for $2 or $2.50 / lb. And if they have Prime it isn't much more.

If I remember right, brisket, select of choice was between $2.25 and $2.99 a pound, angus choice was $3.40 a pound. Tri-tip was $4.25 a pound or so. That is at the local bulk restaurant supply place.

The choice CAB packer I looked at yesterday at the local Mom and Pop was 2.89/lb
They don't sell select brisket so I don't know about that grade here.

If you have a restaurant depot near you, you can get a KCBS membership for $30/year and get day passes into RD (cheaper than a yearly membership to costco and sam's club)
I get my meat where ever it is onsale between Restaurant Depot, local grocery stores, and local butcher's shops.

I get tri-tip for $6.99/lb at Sams, but I have to ask for ones that haven't been cut into steaks already.
Brisket for $2.49/lb usually for CAB packers.
