My local butcher has listed right now at $3.00 a pound gonna go down and check them out I know he is always cheaper then Walmart bjs food lion etc. because he was telling me that there's basically no middle man it's from animal to his case way it seemed which works for me I am even able to get good bone in rib roasts at 4.99 a ln or so
 
$3.99/pound for USDA prime packers at Costco in Peoria, IL area. Not sure on the price at Sams.

A couple local butchers sell whole packers that are USDA choice for $6.99 - $7.99 a pound. 
 
I guess the issue for me is the amount of increase in such a short amount of time. A $2.00 increase per # in 3 weeks and a drop from prime to choice seems to be very unusual.

And here I thought Illinois was horrible. Extremely high property taxes, high sales taxes, high state income tax, and run by crooked Chicago politicians.
 
Costco had whole packers for the first time in it seems forever.  They had 3 choice (14lb, 16lb, 17.5lb) for $5.69/lb and the local grocery store had flats only for $6.99/lb. As I said above the best I can find anywhere here is $4.99/lb for choice.  I am very envious of all of the rest of you. Making brisket here is a serious investment.
