Not being an economist, what I don't get is why Costco has such a wide range in pricing on this in various parts of the country. $5.99 here, just absurd.
$5.99 is absurd. But I’m guessing a new Ford F-150 will cost more depending on where you live too. I’m thinking state & local taxes along with transportation costs and wealth in a particular area are the main reasons for price variations.

You may be right, but a Ford is the same MSRP everywhere. What you negotiate based on local market conditions is the sale price. Not sure what causes my northeast IL Costco to have such higher beef prices, though.$5.99 is absurd. But I’m guessing a new Ford F-150 will cost more depending on where you live too.

UnfortunatelyLooking like not much relief in the near future on prices.

I wager if it doesn’t sell by the 18th they’ll knock $8 off.
Not to bad for today's prices, this is what we're paying wholesale around here, pre trimmed and wholeWild Fork Foods prime brisket $4.98/lb two nights ago when I looked and ordered two of them. Interesting that Costco in my same area is a dollar more per pound.
Yes, I had to look closely and make sure I had the price correct. Maybe they purchased these several week ago? They are flash frozen, I believe, so that would maybe make sense.Not to bad for today's prices, this is what we're paying wholesale around here, pre trimmed and wholeView attachment 510674
Some states have livestock handling laws. It's passed on to the customer.Not being an economist, what I don't get is why Costco has such a wide range in pricing on this in various parts of the country. $5.99 here, just absurd.
