Denver/Coloardo people, where do you buy full packers?

I have found them at walmart but I want a better quality cut.  The Tonys meat place by me wants over $10/pound for a flat only.  Tonys is ridiculously over priced and the meat I have had there I don't think is that great.  I am in Centennial but am willing to drive for a reasonable packer that is at least choice or prime.  Where do you all buy your meats?

    Wal-Mart can carry quality brisket, just make sure they're choice.

    Yep, I check king supers weekly.  they always just tell me "we can order them".  Im a spur of the moment type guy so ordering isn't usually my thing but maybe ill have to.

    The walmart by me only ever has select cut.  this has worked for my practice cooks, but I want to buy a better cut of meat to see what kind of end result I can get.  my walmart briskets have been ok, but not great

    Well, as luck would have it I did some grocery shopping at a different king supers yesterday because it was in the area I was eating lunch.  As I always do when I am at any grocery store, I looked at their meat selection.  Guess what?!?!?  they had choice full packers for about $3.50/pound.  Score!  In case anyone cares, this was the newly remodeled king supers at University and Arapahoe by Arapahoe high school.
