Cold weather winter here and I don't do much from Christmas until late March. I went on to US Foods to get an order together for next week and brisket is up to $4.09 lb which was like $3.09 last fall. I've seen it get as high as $3.79 lb here but was shocked. Especially since I need 225 lbs for an event in 3 weeks. Anyone else seeing this kind of spike? We tracked whole packers and edible portions from cryovac untrimmed raw weight are about 7.2 oz edible meat per lb of cryovac raw weight. So as an example $4.09 lb will yield 7.2 oz of sellable meat and have a cost of $0.568 per oz or $9.09 per lb. I can dang near start selling ribeyes for the price of brisket as my cost for the same brand of whole ribeye loin is $9.27lb. Sure there is a little loss there in cooking but not like brisket.
