Costco Brisket availability question...

I stopped in Costco today and all they had in the case were brisket flats up to 6 lbs. ($8.99/lbs)
When you guys get whole packers, do you ask them to pull it from the back or is this store dependent? I didn't see points so I'm not sure if they use that cut for something else.
I know, I could have asked a guy but the place was a zoo today and I was in a rush. I did grab my pork shoulders and a huge bag of chicken wings for the weekend, though.

Same deal in PA---Flats only in case, leave sleeping dogs lie.

If it's not out, then they don't carry packers.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

I've never even seen a brisket at Costco here in Canada. Or pork butts for that matter. :(

For that kind of money, you might as well order a SRF brisket.

I'm still not sure how they can ship something via standard shipping, for $10, and have it arrive still frozen 3-4 days later. If so, I'm sold. If I have to pay the $40-$80 charge for expedited shipping...maybe not so much.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to give them a call.

They pack it in a cooler with dry ice. It's a two day shipment to Georgia. Do yourself a favor and buy two to get their discount. They had free shipping so it was $115 for each brisket. I just checked and the one I have left is 13.62 lbs. That's $8.44/lb.

Went to BJ's Wholesale today and did not see any full packers out. Ask the guy in the back and he brought me one. Worth an ask.

They have a ton here is Austin...under $4/lbLBGE & SBGE. Central Texas.

Bought a Prime Brisket packer at Costco yesterday in Dallas for 3.39 a pound. Great price if you ask me.McKinney, TX

I wonder if it's possible for those of you in brisket desert areas to talk to the Costco store manager and see if they can order a case since they're carried elsewhere. You could do a local prime brisket group buy with local eggheads

I've only seen them once at Costco here in Salt Lake City. It was so rare I had to take a pic and send it to all of my bbq friends.

My Costco only carries flats as well. I go to a Butcher shop in Detroit to get my packers.Dearborn MI
