Choice packer 2.40/pound ok to freeze?

Options
Found a 10.5 choice brisket yesterday at a smart and final in Los Angeles area and had to scoop it up. Don't know when I'm gonna be able to cook it but at that price I said what the heck and bought it.

Anyone ever freeze a brisket before? See any difference in final product?

Thanks

    Hopefully it is cryovac packaged but regardless I have not had a problem with the freeze thaw cycle-but don't rush the thaw.  Of course, given how fickle brisket is any taste differences could be meat or freeze related-never have done a controlled test.  Always enjoyed the end-product.  Good score in LA.  Enjoy-
