Odd Brisket

[drunkenmeatfist]

I was at Walmart earlier and saw that they were having a sale on brisket for $1.76/lb. The first one I see is a 20lb Swift brand prime packer. I'd never seen prime at Walmart before so I dig through the rest of the bins. Every other brisket was Certified Angus Beef brand. The vac seal on it was loose, but it was not leaking the little bit of blood in the bag. I found the whole situation odd, but I went ahead and spent the 30+ to take the thing home. Should I have any worries? Other than figuring out when to cook 20lbs of beef that I don't need.

I wouldn't; I've snagged stuff up like this before too. Likely it was the last of a lot and all. Just check the date..some googling has also revealed to me Swift brand is actually considered pretty darn good.

I agree! Nice snag! In the cryovac, I've gone a couple weeks past the sell by date.
