    I wonder if we could petition Costco to carry packers in GA. I bet we could get a bunch of signatures. 
    Completely agree. With the BGE HQ down here the popularity and demand has to be increasing.

    How does Cali get stupid cheap prime brisket yet the southeast can barely get a choice.... Florida sucks for brisket. Select packers at Walmart, $5lb flats at other grocers....

    My Costco does not sell prime so I went to a local butcher and got a prime for $4.99. In NJ that's a good price believe it or not. He also sells Choice for $3.50.

    This is a long shot, but has anyone seen them in the DC Metro area? I thought I had seen them in Northern Virginia Costco over the summer but I check every time I'm at a Costco and no luck.

    Costco in Cincy OH carries Prime packers on occasion-but you have to watch the price. It varies from $3.29 -$6 a lb. I only buy when it is less than $4.

    @JMCXL what butcher do you use? I'm in northern NJ (Essex county) and the Costco only has  choice flats. I've been trying to get my hands on a prime packer...

    Espositos meats 90 Ridgedale Ave, East Hanover Nj 973-884-0151 (ask for Eddie).
    they have great pricing and so easy to deal with
    the last Prime i got was around 4.99. but for a usda Choice 18# for 3.98 that was very very good.  Will do that again next time.

    At least 2 of the 3 Indianapolis Area Costco's carry the prime grade packers. I have purchased them in Castleton and Greenwood. Generally between $2.99 and $3.29 LB. Ironically they also sell choice flats for around $5.69 LB. 

    The prime packers turn out great every time. Just wish I was home more to cook them! This beauty was part of our Thanksgiving feast. And you can't beat leftover brisket chili....

    I was at the Costco in Alpharetta, GA today and as usual all they had were Flats. I spoke to one of the guys putting meat out and asked him about packers, he told me they won't be getting any packers, Costco doesn't thing they will sell here. I told him about this thread and asked what we could do to request packers. He got the manager and he said to told me email a request, if this get enough they may stock them. I have attached a link for the Atlanta area Costco members to send a request.

    @JRWhitee I've done the same thing at that Costco a few times, even tried calling the business distribution center in Morrow.  Other parts of the country can actually order a case of prime briskets, so we're definitely missing out . 

    I'll keep filling out that form too. Let's go fellow Atlanta eggers!

    Vacaville, CA  I've bought Prime as cheap as 2.69/lb but see them mostly at 2.99/lb.  Both are cheaper than buying just the flat which they sell in Choice.  If I recall those are more in the $4-5 range.  I stopped buying them once I realized they sold the Prime packers.
