PSA for Atlanta Eggers: $3.99 CAB Prime Brisket

Saw an ad for Patton's Meat Market in Duluth,Ga selling Prime Briskets for $3.99.  Thats unheard of in Ga.

Just figures a deal like that would happen just after I fill my cooler with 3 frozen Costco prime packers and fly back with it from Detroit!  ;)

    Used to drive right past it and never knew it was there until I just looked it up. Work from home now so guess I won't be able to catch that deal. :|

    Is there any difference in a CAB prime vs. just USDA Prime that Costco sell?  Wondering if the CAB is better quality?

    My understanding is that CAB is just a brand. They claim that they only take the "top" of each grade.  So, their "choice" is the best of choice, prime is the best of prime.

    This may just be marketing :).  If you find USDA prime and it appears to have good marbeling I wouldn't go out of my way to pick up CAB prime. 

    I still think this is a great deal for Atlanta residence who can't get Prime brisket anywhere else without taking a flight to Detroit ;)

    I called earlier they said something about joining their mailing list for the special. Did it say $6.99 was the special price?

    They don't ask but they recognize me so not sure.

    Gotta be honest. I like brisket for sure, but pickling it and making corned beef and Pastrami has been my favorite treatment of that cut.

    They asked at the register if I was a member of their email list and marked it down the $3.99

  • Those are among the very best. Nothing better for that price. I like them as much as SRF. They are beefier but not as tender. I buy every one I see. They pop up in my store every once in a while. That is a score right there.

    Where are you finding prime packers at costco? I go to the Alpharetta and the Cumming costco and have never seen them.  All they have are choice flats.

    Atlanta Costco does not carry packer briskets, I did pick up one of these at Pattons today, you have to mention the email and they take off at the register. Shelf price is $6.99, I got $3.99 at the register.

    @danv23 - @GoooDawgs mentioned in another thread he imported Prime packers from a Costco in Detroit. I agree they are not available around us. I am in Woodstock so it would be silly for me to drive 2 hour round trip but I might just do it anyway.

    You are not far from Pattons.  I just made the drive from Woodstock.  It was only about 40-45 minutes without traffic.  I got 3 and they had plenty more.

    Is anybody leaving these in the fridge to wet age them for 30-40 days before throwing them in the freezer?  Just had the thought.
