Hey was curious on average price per lb folks pay...

I was going to do  brisket today however I wasn't satisfied with my results.

I did order one for next week though...

I looked at few places, some were completely trimmed and at 6.50per lb

Lowest I found was 4.25 from a butcher I trust.

Thing is if was to buy half a steer everything cut ænd wrapped is 2.00 per lb,

WhATS AVERaG price per lb on a brisket is my question
 
Last I bought was about a month ago.  $2.99 on sale.

No idea how much higher they have gone in a month.

Good luck and good smoking.
 
Paid 3.69 for a choice packer yesterday. It is a bit high but keep in mind fat cattle are bringing 1.20 a pound on the hoof.

Beer wagon, if you can get it cut and wrapped for 2 bucks a pound buy 3 steers as that price is way below cost of production.
 
Beer wagon, I am in the animal agriculture world and that price is below what they could send it to the sale barn for. Pretty cool though if you can pick it out and send it to the butcher.
 
$3.54 lb. for a choice Angus brisket from Restaurant Depot last week. That's a bit more than I like to pay for brisket, but I've never tried Angus, and it was nice & floppy.
 
$3.90 Prime whole packer fom meatcodelivery.com Choice was $2.99 but wanted to try Prime whole packer it was 14 pounds Untrimmed. the best was back ribs for $2.90
I had to check this place out. I'm envious. Looks really great if you live in the NE (free next day delivery), but delivery charges are way too much for me in WA state.
 
Most of the briskets I find are select, would like choice but don't see them.  HEB had whole packers for $2/lb for many months but had recently increased to near $2.50.  Last weekend Albertsons ran a sale on packers for $1.77/lb limit 2.  I grabbed a couple of them and told everyone I knew about the sale.
