Check your local krogers. The one close to me has bone in butts for $0.99 lb and briskets for $1.99 lb. I'll be making a stop on my way home from work tonight.
I used to have the same problem. I know have two big stand ups. Plus the ones on our two fridges! Lol!Yep, I scarfed up a two pack of the Butts. My Kroger also had Chuck for $3.99/lb. I didn't see the brisket though. Why is it that these great deals occur when my freezer is pretty full with meat that I didn't get on sale earlier.
We dont dont smoke whole brisket often but my plan is to grind. Even the high fat ground beef around here is over $4 lb. And I'll take ground brisket iver just about any other cut ground any day!Brisket is $2.49 lb here this week. I got no room in the freezer, my wife doesn't eat beef cuts, and a packer already in the freezer I'm going to grind for burgers when the time comes. I might not ever smoke a brisket again with all this corona lockdown and no company. I like beef short ribs more anyway, brisket on a stick. RAY
Ha! I wish! My butcher's prices are bit diferent. Last time I looked it was $9.98 a lb.
Man this is the 2nd time your Kroger has awesome deals that ours don’t. I think last time it was $0.99 spares, that never hit ours either.Check your local krogers.

Hey Sowsage, I'm sure it has been posted around here before, but do you prefer ground brisket over Chuck for burgers and other ground beef cooks? I can get a whole packer for half the cost per pound from chuck.We dont dont smoke whole brisket often but my plan is to grind. Even the high fat ground beef around here is over $4 lb.

I have ground my own Chuck before also...still way better than store baught ground beef because its fresh and I can choose what size plate I grind through. But brisket for me has much more "beefy" flavor to it. I usually just trim the really big hunks of fat and whatever else you normally would. Run it through a 1/4" plate and your good to go. Like many others here once I started grinding brisket I have not gone back!Hey Sowsage, I'm sure it has been posted around here before, but do you prefer ground brisket over Chuck for burgers and other ground beef cooks?
