Costco PRIME briskets, been nice knowing you...
Went to grab a few cases of brisket and my meat guy said that "since no supplier can keep up with demand that Costco is only keeping PRIME briskets in select Regions". My region is one that has lost them. I purchased what they had left. Now to try and source for a similar price somewhere...
Just a heads up. May want to grab a couple for yourself and ask them if your Region will still get them. Sent from my SM-G990U using Tapatalk

My Sam's still carries them if you have one close. Walk in as a visitor and see what they have.

Not sure if I'm in the same situation or not. I was at the Costco nearest to me a couple of weeks ago and I think they only had two Packer Briskets and maybe 5 Flats. Usually plenty of both. Guess I'll find out on my next visit and see what's there. I may have to start searching for Chuck Roast recipes.

I think the difference at my Costco is (was?) only .50/pound so, ~$7 on a 14lb packer. I'm pretty darn cheap at times but, for the time and effort I put into a brisket on the offset, $7 for the likelihood of a better result is worth it to me.
That said, prime is $3.99 right now and I'm hoping it drops a bit very soon as I'm hungry for "moist" brisket (it was as low as $2.99 a year or two ago, I probably wont see that ever again). |

I called the Costco nearest me and they hadn't heard anything about this, but also said they would only know about what is currently active, and Prime Briskets are an active product currently. They said they couldn't say what future changes are planned. Nervously keeping fingers crossed... |

Just grabbed a Prime for $3.99/lb without issue in TN today. I honestly dont believe they'll stop carrying them.
"Happenings" such as this are most often a regional thing. For example, you'll see "Costco has tri-tip!" --- yeah, maybe in California. Same principle -- guarantee you're not gonna see brisket going away from Costco in the midwest or southeast at minimum. I'll have to ask one of the guys in the meat dept next time, they were busy putting out a loud buzzer when I was nearby (I guess they have an alert when I get near!) |

I switched from Costco prime to those restaurant depot upper choice. I found way too much fat on the Costco briskets and there was much difference in quality. ever since the pandemic RD has been giving out day passes to the general public.

There are certain choice brands I’ll take over prime. Pretty happy with the ones mentioned from RD but Sam’s carries a brand I really like called Black Canyon that I always have great results from.
