Default So what is the price of Brisket in your area?

$4.46 per lb. For select near us. I still can't see paying that much for select grade. I almost caved but I haven't caved all year. The smokers have been empty all year. I miss it but man these meat prices are crazy. Hoping meat prices cool off come winter but they didn't last year and I think it may not this year either.

Recent, whole packer prices at Sam’s. About same at Walmart.
Walmart will occasionally throw in a brisket priced under $3# in the bin. I prefer choice and will buy Select if it has a giant point. I just don’t trim as much and use foil boat fat cap up.

5.23 prime
4.98 choice
4.35 Select

$5.99/lb at Costco for Prime, Sam’s slightly less for choice and prime.

I’m cooking beef ribs today because they’re cheaper than brisket :-|

Sam's in Albany NY was $4.99 for choice that looked grey and nasty.
$5.48 for prime that looked fantastic.

5.00 per pound right before Labor Day at Costco here

Still much harder to find in stock right now than a year ago. They seem to be averaging closer to 20lbs when they do have them. Takes some effort to find the 12-14 pounders I like to start with.

I found a 9# choice at Walmart for less than $5/lb. Snagged it and it's in my freezer.

Couple of months ago caught choice at Albertson's for $1.69.
Limit of two, so the bride and I each bought, and put 4 in the freezer.

Last week Kroger had choice for the $1.67 sale that bowhntr mentioned above.
We bought 2 more.

I cook on average 1-2 briskets a month, simply because of the price point we seem to be able to acquire them at when on sale, and the sales have been frequent enough to keep the freezers stocked.

At those prices we will continue to restock the freezers with whatever the purchase limits will allow. I don't see beef coming down over the rest of this year.

I really feel for you folks that are having to pay up.
