That's a pretty steep price for some brisket ... out of curiosity, are they organic cuts of beef??? That's the only reason I'd think for them to be that pricey.
I'm not as lucky as Cajun with the $0.99/lb hunks up there, but have found them between $2.50/lb and $3/lb.
I know exactly how you feel Gaga.
And all of you with your cheap briskets, you know how lucky you are? Very.
If our local places even have brisket they are outrageously priced.
I checked on some today and they are $4.49lb and that is about average.
Guess that's the price I pay where almost nobody smokes meat, damn shame too because if only these people knew how great it is.
Here in Fla. our local grocery stores like Publix routinely sell small cuts of flats for over $4/lb. They even have large uncut flats and packer type briskets that they sell for around the same price. I now go to Wallyworld for brisket which is usually $1.89/lb. Sure you have some waste but it's still so much cheaper.
Sam's in my area carries select (sometimes choice) whole packers for 1.78/pnd on a regular basis.
I try to buy mine at the super target across the street where their regular price is 1.09/pnd for Choice Whole Packer cuts. Bad thing is that they only stock them during the summer.
