Prime Brisket at Costco $2.89US/pound

Skiddymarker

I can recall drooling over a post two or three years ago where Prime brisket was $2.99/pound. Best price I was seeing locally was over $5.00/pound. Now that brisket is close to $9.00CDN/pound, I was pleasantly surprised to find Prime brisket for $2.89US/pound.

I'd buy 6 of them!!

I got 3-4 in the DF, but I can add more at that price!

@Thatgrimguy - would have bought four if SWMBO had been with me, limit for same day cross border shopping is 20Kg (44#) per person. I did grab two of them.

I now have two in the freezer, one whole, one separated...

I got one along with a beef tenderloin.

That is a tremendous price!  I was underwhelmed last week with Costco's price in Maryland:  $5.15/lb for a choice untrimmed flat.  With Passover starting this Friday Costco had lots of brisket, but certainly no specials.

Unreal prices, never seen a packer at my SAMs here in Florida, and for sure never seen a prime brisket.

I was just at Brookhaven Costco in Atlanta, only had Flats at 4.99lb. I guess I will getting my buddies RD card.

@bhedges1987 - and yours was 10 cents a pound less!

That's a great price. The lowest I remember in recent times was $2.68/lb ( I think) 2-3 years back.

Great score @Skiddymarker - - enjoy the cook and banquet.

Man, I wish my Costco sold packers.  They only sell flats and I have to go to SAMs to get packers.  I get stuck with mediocre pricing on choice.  Oh well, I guess I'm just stuck being jealous

have you checked recently? My Costco used to not carry them as well. They have for about 8 months now and are always about $3/pound. Cant believe I once paid close to $15 (didn't know any better...stopped by a "specialty" butcher...it was the worst brisket I ever cooked....lesson learned).

@busmania - this past week was the first time I've seen packers at Costco in Bellingham. Flats were always available. I guess each store is different...
I always check pork butt as well, it is usually about 1/2 the price we pay in Canada. This week a local grocery store has cryovac pork loins for $2.19CDN a pound, that's about $1.69US - pretty close to the same on both sides of the border.
