The Costco up our way here in Canada, the meat cost way too much, and there is no Brisket to be seen anywhere in the meat dept. I can buy just as good meat a lot cheaper in local grocery stores and butcher shops.
To give you an example, a beef roast that feed maybe 6 people is $98 total. I will have to charge up my phone and take some pictures of the prices, you folks will be shocked,
