brisket sale

[elhefe]

Does brisket typically go on sale around Memorial Day? When is the next best sales time and what is a good price per pound for a whole packer.

Im a big fan of the Prime briskets at Costco. They usually have a decent price there normally but I have seen it as low as $2.69 lb. Lately its been around $3.69 +/-
I know theres cheaper out there but this is good stuff to cook.

Every holiday there is a chance for brisket sale at multiple grocery stores...although it rotates between brisket, pork butts, ribs and steak.

Easter, Memorial weekend, July 4th, and Labor Day are your best bets and is when I usually load up on whatever they have on sale.. Don't pass on looking at Juneteenth, Cinco de mayo, Valentines, Mothers and Fathers day type "holidays" either. I really just grab the local sales papers from the mailbox every Tuesday and look.

Albertsons had brisket for $1.39/lb over Easter.

cooked my first Prime last weekend and will never cook another select. The extra money is worth it

My thoughts exactly. Every time I go into HEB I make a pass by the brisket section b/c on a few occasions they've had Prime @ $1.99/lb. If I can find it for $2.49/lb or less I'll generally pick one up.

Sam's usually has prime as well. Although in the Fort Worth area, you have to ask for it they keep it in the back

Choice is $1.77 a pound at Kroger

Brookshires has whole briskets for $1.99/lb this week

Only my opinion, but if you are going to invest the 10-15 hours it typically takes to smoke a full brisket, spend the little extra $$$ and get Prime beef. I’m not saying you can’t ever get a decent Select or choice, but why chance it.

Hard to disagree with that but you can usually do pretty good on Choice cuts if you know what to look for. But there are definitely some 'clunkers' as well.

Yup agreed...I buy them right and have really good luck with them. If they don't look or feel good, I just don't buy them unless the whole plan is chopped in the first place. But surprisingly I've had really good luck with suspect looking/feeling briskets too when the plan was to chop. Of course I don't cook for contests. I cook for bellies.. It's been a long time since I've had a real clunker.


Guess I need to run by Kroger....$1.77 here in our ad too.
