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.

Prime Whole Packer in Peoria AZ $2.89#

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.

@Eggcelsior for some reason I thought you lived in the area.

I work in Bowie, MD and last time I checked the Laurel (Rt 1) and Columbia Costco, neither of them had packers.

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.

Nola Costco is currently $2.59/lb for prime packer.

Thank you! I will try them out soon! 

I just paid nearly $5/lb for a choice flat at the Costco at Willowbrook mall. Ugh!

$2.69 for prime at S. Austin Costco yesterday, they had a ton of them, expanded into new cooler section.

JR_Baas

Grand Rapids MI.  They had 4 more. Cooking tomorrow!

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....

kl8ton

Grandville MI today

Going on in a few minutes. going to eat it tomorrow and make 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!

schafe98

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.  

Egg_Me_On

cancelling my membership right now and I just joined last week. Been to 2 Costcos in Orlando and only flats. Talked to managers at both locations. just said its regional and they only carry flats. The flats were 4.79Lb. Whats going on man
