 My stepson's girlfriend is moving out of town, so I let her choose what she wants for dinner Saturday night. Brisket! My butcher is selling it for $8 a pound untrimmed. We don't have a Costco or Sam's nearby, but I might be willing to make a trip if the prices are much better. What do you all pay there?

    Costco prime around $3.89/lb now.  Was as high as $4.29/lb in May.  Call first as brisket is hit or miss at Costco here. 
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    If you have a Super Walmart nearby, they might have them for $2.96/#. They do out here in the burbs.

    SAMs club has them too but I haven't got one this year so I wouldn't quote a price.  The super walmarts by me all seem to have choice grade...I've always went a little higher and went for the prime,

    Sams clubs around here in Pa don't seem to carry whole packers. In the SE Pa area your choices are RD and Super Walmart . 
    @jlsm, the Super Walmarts up here in Berks and Montco carry the choice packers.
